“…Recently, cases with certain clinical features have been reported: NTM disease accompanied by histologically-proven organizing pneumonia (OP), also known as bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (2,3), in which patients developed acute or subacute symptoms with infiltrates on chest images, and improved dramatically following treatment with a combination of a corticosteroid and antimycobacterial therapy (4)(5)(6). We also found similar cases among our NTM disease patients.…”

We herein report our experience with patients who had nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTM disease) accompanied by organizing pneumonia (OP). Out of 98 NTM disease patients who had undergone a biopsy or surgical resection, 11 patients had OP that was revealed histologically. After excluding six patients who had OP-related diseases (idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.), the remaining five patients were studied. Two of them (a 73-year-old man and a 66-year-old woman) showed common clinical feature: acute-onset symptoms of cough and fever, infiltrating shadows and dramatic improvement following treatment with a corticosteroid and anti-mycobacterial therapy. Our cases demonstrate that NTM disease is sometimes accompanied by OP histologically, and some such cases show common clinical features.

“…Similar cases have been reported in the literature. For example, Hamada et al (4) reported the case of a 67-year-old woman with fever and dyspnea. Her sputa culture confirmed Mycobacterium intracellulare, and TBLB revealed OP that rapidly improved clinically with corticosteroid administration.…”

Mycobacterium kansasii disease was diagnosed in an 85-year-old woman admitted to the hospital for cough and gradually worsening breathlessness. Transbronchial biopsy indicated either non-necrotizing granulomata or bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP). She was cured with combined therapy of specific anti-mycobacterial medications and systemic steroids. To our knowledge, this is the first report of M. kansasii non-tuberculous mycobacterium disease with a

“…Pulmonary NTM disease is the most common type of involvement and occurs primarily in patients with preexisting structural lung damage such as emphysema or On the other hand, rare cases with different disease entities have been reported: NTM disease accompanied by histologically proven OP in which patients developed acute or subacute symptoms with infiltrates on chest images, and improved rapidly following treatment with a combination of a corticosteroid and anti-mycobacterial therapy (6,(8)(9)(10). Hamada et al (8) reported a 67-year-old woman with fever and dyspnea; her sputum culture confirmed Mycobacterium intracellulare, and transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) revealed OP that showed dramatic clinical improvement clinically with corticosteroid and anti-mycobacterial treatment (clarithromycin, rifampicin, and levofloxacin).…”

Successful treatment of acute respiratory failure in a patient with pulmonary Mycobacterium abscessus infection accompanied by organizing pneumonia

Organizing pneumonia (OP) is an inflammatory lung disease characterized pathologically by the presence of buds of granulation tissue in the distal air spaces. There are numerous causes of OP including acute respiratory infections such as viral and bacterial infections. However, Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) has rarely been reported as a causative pathogen of OP. Here, we report a 67-year-old woman with rapidly progressive pulmonary M. abscessus infection who developed OP and acute respiratory failure (ARF).She was treated successfully with a corticosteroid and anti-mycobacterial therapy. Our observations suggest that pulmonary M. abscessus infection should be added to the list of infectious conditions associated with OP.
