To assess the species distribution and epidemiologic trends of nontuberculous mycobacteria, we examined isolates from patients in Taiwan. During 2000-2008, the proportion increased significantly from 32.3% to 49.8%. Associated disease incidence increased from 2.7 to 10.2 cases per 100,000 patients. Mycobacterium avium complex and M. abscessus were most frequently isolated.
为了评估非结核分枝杆菌的物种分布和流行病学趋势，我们检查了来自台湾患者的分离株。2000 年至 2008 年期间，其比例从 32.3%显著增加到 49.8%。相关疾病的发病率从每 10 万人 2.7 例增加到 10.2 例。最常分离到的是鸟分枝杆菌复合体和脓肿分枝杆菌。
