title: [Lung tissue destructive lesions caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria].
abstract: Forty-two patients with pulmonary mycobacteriosis were clinically characterized. In most patients, mycobacteriosis developed in the presence of residual changes in the lungs after cured tuberculosis. The torpid onset of mycobacteriosis with a gradual augmentation of symptoms of intoxication was observed. All the examinees were found to have destructive lung tissue changes that were characterized by the presence of caverns with a significantly transformed lung pattern.
