Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease: A Clinical and Radiologic Update
2022, Seminars in RoentgenologyCitation Excerpt :Other immunocompromised populations affected by NTM-PD and disseminated NTM infection include patients with lymphoproliferative disorders (i.e. leukemia and lymphoma), patients on immunosuppressive drugs (i.e. cytotoxic immunotherapy) or chronic corticosteroids, or post-transplant patients.75,76 MAC, M. kansasii, M. abscessus, M. gordonae, M. chelonae, M. fortuitum are among NTM isolates in these populations.77-79 Patients present with constitutional symptoms of fever, weight loss, and generalized malaise.
Nontuberculous mycobacteria infections in immunosuppressed hosts
2015, Clinics in Chest MedicineCitation Excerpt :Hairy cell leukemia is particularly associated with disseminated NTM disease, documented in the literature starting in the early 1980s.6,7 A large institutional case series reported an incidence of 5% (9 of 186).56 One estimate from Taiwan suggested that 1.2% of patients with hematologic malignancy developed NTM infections.55
Sarcoidosis: Role of non-tuberculosis mycobacteria and Mycobacterium tuberculosis
2014, International Journal of MycobacteriologyCitation Excerpt :Fast-growing NTM mycobacteria are ubiquitous organisms in the environment and may cause diseases in both healthy and immunocompromised patients. As such, they are a recognized cause of environmentally acquired diseases, including post-traumatic skin, soft tissue, and bone infections, pulmonary disease [2–4], disseminated infection [5] and cervical lymphadenitis [6]. Information about the risk factors for NTM disease is unclear given that the data comes from case reports and retrospective studies.

2006, Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :The 40 patients who did not have infectious episodes had an excellent survival, which established infection as the major cause of death in HCL. Bennett and colleagues [21] corroborated the association of HCL and serious infection with atypical mycobacteria. Disseminated atypical mycobacterial infections (six with M kansaii, two with M avium-intracellulare, and one with M cheloneii) were seen in 9 of 186 patients.
