Mycobacteriosis occurs in our country as sporadic cases; nevertheless the clinical significance of this disease is great since its course is severe and its treatment presents great difficulties. Eighteen patients with mycobacteriosis caused by M. avium (n = 14), M. malmoense (n = 2), M. kansasii (n = 1), and M. xenopi (n = 1) were followed up. Subsequently, all the examinees fell ill with tuberculosis due to nosocomial infection. The change of a pathogen was bacteriologically documented by the isolation of M. tuberculosis. Ten tuberculosis-infected persons died. In this connection, it is necessary to legislatively determine the status of mycobacteriosis as an independent entity, to develop a proposition on mycobacteriosis, including its diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up, as well as to enhance the knowledge of phthisiologists on how to manage patients with mycobacteriosis, and to improve the bacteriological diagnosis of the disease.
分枝杆菌病在我国以散发病例形式出现；然而，这种疾病的临床意义重大，因为其病程严重且治疗困难重重。对18例由鸟分枝杆菌（n = 14）、马尔默分枝杆菌（n = 2）、堪萨斯分枝杆菌（n = 1）和偶发分枝杆菌（n = 1）引起的分枝杆菌病患者进行了随访。随后，所有受检者因医院感染患上了结核病。通过分离结核分枝杆菌，从细菌学上记录了病原体的变化。10名结核病感染者死亡。鉴于此，有必要通过立法确定分枝杆菌病作为一个独立实体的地位，制定关于分枝杆菌病的提议，包括其诊断、治疗和随访，同时提高肺病学家对如何管理分枝杆菌病患者的认识，并改进该疾病的细菌学诊断。
