Serial CT Findings ofMycobacterium massiliensePulmonary Disease Compared withMycobacterium abscessusDisease after Treatment with Antibiotic Therapy

Abstract: Common CT findings of M massiliense diseases overlap with those of M abscessus disease. However, responses to antibiotic treatment are much different; in M massiliense disease, negative sputum conversion is accomplished in all patients and serial CT scans show improvement in most patients.

“…The fibrocavitary form (previously called the upper lobe cavitary form) is defined by the presence of cavitary opacities, mainly in the upper lobes. The nodular bronchiectatic form is defined by the presence of bronchiectasis and multiple nodules upon chest HRCT, regardless of the presence of small cavities in the lungs (44,45).…”

“…The fibrocavitary form of the disease (previously called the upper lobe cavitary form) was defined by the presence of cavitary opacities, mainly in the upper lobes. The nodular bronchiectatic form was defined by the presence of bronchiectasis and multiple nodules on chest HRCT scans, irrespective of the presence of small cavities (diameters of Ͻ3 cm) in the lungs (33,34).…”
