title: [Identification of 219 mycobacterial strains: with a report of 3 cases of pulmonary mycobacterial intracellular diseases].
abstract: Isolated mycobacterium from 219 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis was identified according to the criteria of growth in para-aminobenzoic acid medium, rough or smooth type of colony as well as easy or difficult to emulsified etc. 6 strains (2.7%) of atypical mycobacteria have been found. Among them 3 cases (1.4%) of pulmonary mycobacterial intracellular diseases were diagnosed finally. All of the 211 strains (cases) of the rough type are difficult to emulsify, but 8 strains (cases) of the smooth type are all easy to emulsify.
