Abstract
The objective: to study the species diversity of non-tuberculous mycobacteria detected in Samara and incidence of mycobacteriosis taking into account the patients’ immune status.
Subjects and Methods. In 2017-2024, 69 patients aged 21-86 years in whose specimens non-tuberculosis mycobacteria had been detected were examined. In 30 (43.5%) people, non-tuberculous mycobacteria were detected only once in sputum, which was assessed as carriage (Observation Group (OG)). The mycobacteriosis group (MG) included 39 (56.5%) individuals in whom the same non-tuberculous mycobacteria were detected in sputum at least twice, or once in BALF and surgical specimens.
Results. In 2023 in Samara, the incidence of pulmonary mycobacteriosis was 1.6 per 100,000 population, while prevalence made 3.4 per 100,000 population. The most frequently detected causative agents of mycobacteriosis were Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and M. kansasii, and of the fast-growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria, it was M. septicum. Among individuals who developed mycobacteriosis, 25.6% (10/39) were HIV positive (of which 9/10 (90%) had a CD4+ lymphocyte count below 300 cells/μl). In 1 patient, mycobacteriosis developed against during continuous administration of glucocorticosteroids for nonspecific ulcerative colitis.
