Non-tuberculous mycobacterias (NTMs) have many clinical manifestations in humans, depending on the underlying immunological status. We present a patient with Mycobacterium avium intracellulare pulmonary infection and co-existing, biopsy proven non-granulomatous organising pneumonia in distinct regions within the lungs. Treatment consisting of anti-mycobacterial therapy and corticosteroids led to clinico-radiological resolution. This case represents a potential broader clinico-pathological manifestation of Mycobacterium avium intracellulare.
非结核分枝杆菌（NTMs）在人类中有多种临床表现，这取决于潜在的免疫状态。我们报告一例鸟分枝杆菌胞内菌肺部感染患者，同时在肺内不同区域并存经活检证实的非肉芽肿性机化性肺炎。抗分枝杆菌治疗和皮质类固醇治疗使临床和影像学表现得到缓解。该病例代表了鸟分枝杆菌胞内菌潜在的更广泛的临床病理表现。
