A total of 4958 patients, clinically suspected to have tuberculosis were screened for mycobacteria by acid fast staining and culture procedures. Mycobacterial species were isolated from 462 (9.3%) patients while acid fast bacilli were demonstrated on smear examination in 83 (1.7%) patients. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was the most common isolate (92%). Among the nontuberculous mycobacteria, M. fortuitum was isolated in 13 (2.8%), M. avium in 2 (0.4%) and M. szulgai in 1 (0.2%). In 22 individuals clinically suspected of tubercular pleural effusion, pleural biopsy specimen gave higher isolation of mycobacteria (27.3%) as compared to isolations from pleural fluid specimens (9.1%).
共有4958名临床疑似患有结核病的患者通过抗酸染色和培养程序进行了分枝杆菌筛查。从462名(9.3%)患者中分离出分枝杆菌菌种,而在83名(1.7%)患者的涂片检查中发现了抗酸杆菌。结核分枝杆菌是最常见的分离菌(92%)。在非结核分枝杆菌中,偶然分枝杆菌分离出13株(2.8%),鸟分枝杆菌分离出2株(0.4%),斯氏分枝杆菌分离出1株(0.2%)。在22例临床疑似结核性胸腔积液的患者中,胸膜活检标本的分枝杆菌分离率(27.3%)高于胸水标本(9.1%)。
