Mycobacterial diseases are a group of illnesses that cause a considerable number of deaths throughout the world, regardless of years of public health control efforts. Personalized medicine is a new but rapidly advancing field of healthcare. Personalized medicine in the field of mycobacteriology may be applied in the different levels of management such as prevention, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. A genetic predisposition and a protein dysfunction study are recommended to tailor an individual approach in mycobacterial diseases.
分枝杆菌病是一类在全球导致大量死亡的疾病,尽管进行了多年的公共卫生防控努力。个性化医疗是一个新兴但发展迅速的医疗保健领域。分枝杆菌学领域的个性化医疗可应用于预防、诊断、治疗和预后等不同管理层面。建议开展遗传易感性和蛋白质功能障碍研究,以便为分枝杆菌病制定个体化治疗方案。
