Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the clinical significance of Mycobacterium malmoense infections, especially in pulmonary specimens, noting that this pathogen is more relevant than other non-tuberculous mycobacteria.
- Through a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature, the researchers analyzed data from 188 individual patients and pooled data from 671 patients, finding that pulmonary infections were the most common, but a significant number also had extra-pulmonary or disseminated disease.
- The results suggest that a high percentage (68%) of patients had clinically relevant disease, and treatment regimens that include macrolides and rifamycins significantly improved survival rates in these patients.
