Abundance of Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis in soil and dust in Germany - implications for the infection route.

Lahiri A1, Kneisel J, Kloster I, Kamal E, Lewin A.Author information 1Robert Koch Institute, Division 16 Mycotic and Parasitic Agents and Mycobacteria, Nordufer 20, 13353, Berlin, Germany.AbstractThe nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a heterogeneous group of bacteria found in soil, water and dust. The spread of NTM infection depends on exposure to reservoirs with high proportions of mycobacteria, the virulence of the NTM strains, the enhanced sensitivity to infections such as those of immune-compromised hosts and patient risk factors such as for example Cystic Fibrosis. Since several decades NTM lung disease has been increasingly observed in slender postmenopausal women. The most important NTM in Germany is Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH). The routes of MAH infection are in almost all cases unknown but water is often suspected as source of infection. We wanted to examine this hypothesis by determining the frequency of MAH in environmental samples of water, biofilms, soil and dust originating from Germany. We found MAH in 33% of the dust samples and 20% of the soil samples. No MAH could be isolated from water and biofilm. Dust and soil clearly presented more abundance of MAH in comparison to water and biofilms. Therefore more attention should be paid to soil and dust in Germany as an important source of M. avium infections. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Digital tomosynthesis of the chest: current and emerging applications.

Chou SH1, Kicska GA, Pipavath SN, Reddy GP.Author information 1From the Department of Radiology, University of Washington, 1959 NE Pacific St, UW Mailbox 357115, Seattle, WA 98195-7115.AbstractDigital tomosynthesis (DTS) of the chest is a technique whose basic components are similar to those of digital radiography, but that also provides some of the benefits of computed tomography (CT). The major advantages of DTS over conventional chest radiography are improved visibility of the pulmonary parenchyma and depiction of abnormalities such as pulmonary nodules. Calcifications, vessels, airways, and chest wall abnormalities are also much more readily visualized at DTS than at chest radiography. DTS could potentially be combined with chest radiography to follow up known nodules, confirm or rule out suspected nodules seen at radiography, or evaluate individuals who are at high risk for lung cancer or pulmonary metastases. DTS generates coronal "slices" through the chest whose resolution is superior to that of coronal reconstructed CT images, but it is limited by its suboptimal depth resolution and susceptibility to motion; consequently, potential pitfalls in recognizing lesions adjacent to the pleura, diaphragm, central vessels, and mediastinum can occur. However, the radiation dose and projected cost of chest DTS are lower than those of standard chest CT. Besides pulmonary nodule detection, specific applications of DTS that are under investigation include evaluation of pulmonary tuberculous and nontuberculous mycobacterial disease, cystic fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, and asbestos-related thoracic diseases. A basic understanding of chest DTS and of the emerging applications of this technique can prove useful to the radiologist. Online supplemental material is available for this article. ©RSNA, 2014.
