We studied Mycobacterium avium lymphadenopathy in 183 Swedish children (<7 years of age) from 1998 through 2003. Seasonal variation in the frequency of the disease, with a peak in October and a low point in April, suggests cyclic environmental factors. We also found a higher incidence of the disease in children who live close to water.
我们对1998年至2003年间183名瑞典7岁以下儿童的鸟分枝杆菌淋巴结病进行了研究。该病发病频率存在季节性变化,10月达到高峰,4月降至低点,这表明存在周期性环境因素。我们还发现,居住在靠近水源地区的儿童该病发病率更高。
