Elimination of Mycobacterium intracellulare from sputum after bronchial hygiene

CH Ahn, JR Lowell, GD Onstad, SS Ahn and GA Hurst

Three cases are presented, each of which had more than 20 positive cultures of sputum for Mycobacterium intracellulare, infiltrations, and a history of bronchiectasis. Two had complete and the third nearly complete, sputum conversion during a program of bronchial hygiene without chemotherapy. It is probable that these cases were only noninvasive colonizations in previously diseases lungs. Recommendations are given for a therapeutic approach in such cases.
