This article reviews the current epidemiology of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease and the impact on thoracic disease. The prevalence of nontuberculous pulmonary disease in the United States is much higher than that of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Estimates support an annual increase in incidence of 8% per year. Nontuberculous mycobacteria are distinguished by 2 group designations, slowly growing mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium avium complex, and rapidly growing mycobacteria, which includes Mycobacterium abscessus. Most pulmonary infections in humans are caused by species belonging to M avium complex. This article also reviews risk factors for disease acquisition, including host and environmental risk factors.
本文综述了非结核分枝杆菌肺病的当前流行病学情况及其对胸科疾病的影响。在美国，非结核分枝杆菌肺病的患病率远高于结核分枝杆菌。据估计，其发病率每年以8%的速度递增。非结核分枝杆菌分为两组，缓慢生长的分枝杆菌，如鸟分枝杆菌复合体，以及快速生长的分枝杆菌，包括脓肿分枝杆菌。人类的大多数肺部感染是由鸟分枝杆菌复合体中的菌种引起的。本文还综述了疾病获得的危险因素，包括宿主和环境危险因素。
