Nichttuberkulöse Mykobakteriosen unterscheiden sich in Klinik und Therapie erheblich
von Infektionen durch Erreger aus dem Mycobacterium-tuberculosis-Komplex. Bei HIV-Infizierten
spielen fast ausschließlich Infektionen durch Keime aus der Spezies Mycobacterium
avium eine Rolle, die sich als pulmonale Erkrankungen mit besonderen Charakteristika
und disseminierten Verläufen manifestieren. Bei Nicht-HIV-Infizierten prädisponieren
sowohl eine Reihe lokaler, resistenzmindernder Faktoren als auch systemische Umstände
zu Infektionen mit oder ohne Krankheitswert, die wegen ihres Facettenreichtums sowohl
des klinischen Erscheinungsbildes als auch der speziesspezifischen Behandlung praktisch
für jeden einzelnen Patienten eine individuelle Beurteilung erfordern. Die medikamentöse
Behandlung kann sich - im Gegensatz zur Tuberkulose - nur eingeschränkt auf Resistenztests
in vitro stützen und richtet sich daher zumindest zu Beginn nach den bisherigen klinischen
Erfahrungen und nur wenigen kontrollierten Studien. Angesichts der - im Vergleich
zur Tuberkulose - hohen Rezidivrate nach der medikamentösen Therapie sollte die operative
Sanierung lokaler Risikofaktoren (Bronchiektasen, Bullae, postspezifische Veränderungen)
und damit der Infektion regelhaft in Erwägung gezogen werden.
Non-tuberculous mycobacterioses differ substantially from infections with M. tuberculosis
complex in regard to both clinical presentation and treatment. In persons infected
with HIV the pathogenic organism is almost always M. avium complex, which leads to
various pulmonary diseases with specific characteristics and disseminated courses.
In patients not infected with HIV, a number of factors that reduce local resistance
and certain systemic conditions increase the risk of the infection's reaching a degree
of severity requiring treatment. Since these factors are associated with a wide variety
of clinical presentations and treatment is species-specific, assessment needs to be
individualised for almost all patients. In contrast to the treatment of tuberculosis,
in non-tuberculous mycobacterioses the extent to which the treatment can be based
on in vitro resistance tests is limited. Clinicians therefore have to draw on their
previous clinical experience and the few existing controlled studies, at least initially.
In view of the high rate of recurrence compared to tuberculosis, surgical removal
of local risk factors (bronchiectasis, bullae, post-specific changes) and thus the
mycobacterial infection itself should be considered in all cases.
