Pulmonary disease caused by atypical mycobacteria frequently constitutes an indication for operative treatment, since these bacteria are usually resistant to most forms of chemotherapy. Since 1968 11 patients having pulmonary infection caused by atypical mycobacteria underwent pulmonary resection. All patients, except one who had bilateral disease, left the hospital with negative sputum status. Pulmonary resection is an effective means of therapy for atypical mycobacterial pulmonary infection. Such treatment can be carried out with low morbidity and mortality, and is indicated in cases of poor response to drug treatment or persistent residual lesions.
非典型分枝杆菌引起的肺部疾病常常构成手术治疗的指征，因为这些细菌通常对大多数形式的化疗耐药。自1968年以来，11例由非典型分枝杆菌引起肺部感染的患者接受了肺切除术。除1例患有双侧疾病的患者外，所有患者均以痰菌转阴状态出院。肺切除术是治疗非典型分枝杆菌肺部感染的有效手段。这种治疗的发病率和死亡率较低，适用于药物治疗反应不佳或持续存在残留病灶的病例。
