Introduction. The incidence of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) pulmonary disease (MAC PD), a refractory chronic respiratory tract infection, is increasing worldwide. MAC has three predominant colony morphotypes: smooth opaque (SmO), smooth transparent (SmT) and rough (Rg).Aim. To determine whether colony morphotypes can predict the prognosis of MAC PD, we evaluated the virulence of SmO, SmT and Rg in mice and in human macrophages.Methodology. We compared the characteristics of mice and human macrophages infected with the SmO, SmT, or Rg morphotypes of M. avium subsp. hominissuis 104. C57BL/6 mice and human macrophages derived from peripheral mononuclear cells were used in these experiments.Results. In comparison to SmO- or SmT-infected mice, Rg-infected mice revealed severe pathologically confirmed pneumonia, increased lung weight and increased lung bacterial burden. Rg-infected macrophages revealed significant cytotoxicity, increased bacterial burden, secretion of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6) and chemokines (CCL5 and CCL3), and formation of cell clusters. Rg formed larger bacterial aggregates than SmO and SmT. Cytotoxicity, bacterial burden and secretion of IL-6, CCL5 and CCL3 were induced strongly by Rg infection, and were decreased by disaggregation of the bacteria.Conclusion.M. avium Rg, which is associated with bacterial aggregation, has the highest virulence among the predominant colony morphotypes.

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is a major threat to humans. Recently, we encountered two seemingly separate COVID-19 clusters in a tertiary care medical center. Whole viral genome sequencing detected the haplotype of the SARS-CoV-2 genome and the two clusters were successfully distinguished by the viral genome haplotype. Concurrently, there were nine COVID-19 patients clinically unlinked to clusters #1 or #2 that necessitated the determination of the source of infection. Such patients had similar haplotypes to that in cluster #2 but were devoid of two rare mutations characteristic to cluster #2. This suggested that these nine cases of "probable community infection" indeed had community infection and were not derived from cluster #2. Whole viral genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 is a powerful measure not only for monitoring the global trend of SARS-CoV-2 but also for identifying the source of infection of COVID-19 at a level of institution.

The QuantiFERON TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) test is a newly approved interferon-gamma releasing assay test for detecting latent tuberculosis. Although blood samples for QFT test can be refrigerated for 48 h in lithium-heparin tubes according to package inserts, no published data are available on the effects of sample refrigeration on the test results. We conducted a clinical study that aimed to elucidate whether sample refrigeration for 48 h affects QFT-Plus test results. We collected 2 blood samples each from 40 participants for QFT-Plus; one sample was refrigerated before incubation for QFT-Plus assay, while the other sample was incubated soon after collection and treated as control. After comparing QFT-Plus test results of refrigerated samples and control samples, the concordance rate and kappa coefficient between them were 95% and 0.90, respectively. Thus, blood samples for QFT-Plus test can be refrigerated for 48 h in lithium-heparin tubes without influencing the test results.

Mycobacterium avium complex refers to a group of environmental bacteria which inhabit water and soil. Although Mycobacterium avium complex is capable of causing refractory lung infections, the risk factors for Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease are still unclear. This study aimed to determine the associations between Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease and soil or water exposure. Using questionnaires along with clinical data, we compared soil exposure, along with bathtub bathing and showering habits between 172 women with Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease and 339 women without Mycobacterium avium complex infection as controls. Showering was found to be independently associated with the presence of Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease (adjusted odds ratio 5.72, 95%, confidence interval 1.99 to 16.46). Although the mean age of the groups was different, an age-matched sub-analysis yielded similar results. These results indicate that showering may be a risk factor for Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease.

The tuberculosis (TB) notification rate in Japan is gradually decreasing but has not yet achieved "pre-elimination," defined by the World Health Organization. To effectively tackle, control, and eliminate TB, estimating and monitoring the annual risk of TB infection (ARI) using tuberculin skin testing (TST) to understand the dynamics of TB epidemiology are significantly important. However, studies estimating ARIs using TST are few considering that Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination coverage is high in Japan. This was a single-center, cross-sectional study conducted between January 2011 and December 2018 in Tokyo area where interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) were performed in newly hired researchers of Keio University School of Medicine and healthcare workers of Keio University Hospital to determine TB infection. We estimated the prevalence of TB infection and ARI based on their IGRA results. Among the 3908 subjects, 83 (2.124%) had positive IGRA results. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that age was a significant risk factor for positive IGRA result (adjusted odds ratio, 1.046). The ARIs were 0.049%-0.156% between 1986 and 2004, midyears of TB infection, but have not significantly decreased over approximately two decades. To decrease the risk of TB infection, advanced strategies to control and eliminate TB in Tokyo area are significantly required.

BACKGROUND: The risk factors for Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease (MAC-LD) are not well known. We hypothesized that low serum estradiol (E2) levels are related to MAC-LD as most patients with MAC-LD are postmenopausal women. METHODS: This cross-sectional study compared patients with MAC-LD and healthy controls. Study subjects were postmenopausal women aged 65 years or younger. Serum testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), and E2 levels were measured and categorized as high or low based on median levels. We performed multivariate analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, and age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched subgroup analysis to evaluate the association between low serum E2 levels and MAC-LD. Additionally, using blood samples obtained for other clinical studies, the levels of sex steroid hormones were compared between age- and BMI-matched MAC-LD and bronchiectasis female patients without non-tuberculosis mycobacterial infections (non-NTM BE). RESULTS: Forty-two patients with MAC-LD and 91 healthy controls were included. The median E2 (2.20 pg/mL vs. 15.0 pg/mL, p < 0.001), testosterone (0.230 ng/L vs. 0.250 ng/L, p = 0.005), and DHEA-S (82.5 μg/dL vs. 114.0 μg/dL, p < 0.001) levels were lower in the MAC-LD group than in the control group. Multivariate analysis revealed that low serum E2 (adjusted odds ratio = 34.62, 95% confidence interval = 6.02-199.14) was independently related to MAC-LD, whereas low DHEA-S and testosterone were not. ROC analysis illustrated a strong relationship between low serum E2 levels and MAC-LD (area under the curve = 0.947, 95% confidence interval = 0.899-0.995). Even the age- and BMI-matched subgroup analysis of 17 MAC-LD patients and 17 healthy controls showed lower serum E2 in MAC-LD patients than in healthy controls. Additionally, serum E2 levels of 20 MAC-LD patients were lower than plasma E2 levels of 11 matched non-NTM BE patients (1.79 pg/mL vs. 11.0 pg/mL, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Low serum E2 levels were strongly related to MAC-LD in postmenopausal women.

The sufficient dose to obtain an optimal trough concentration of vancomycin (VCM) in patients with non-standard physical types remains controversial. In this study, we examined the relationship between the dose and physical type in patients in whom an optimal trough concentration was obtained among VCM-treated patients. We retrospectively investigated the dose of VCM and physical type in patients treated with VCM between January 2012 and January 2017 at two medical institutions (n = 272). The physical type was classified using the body mass index (BMI). Patients with a BMI of <18.5 kg/m2 were assigned to the lean group, those with a BMI of 18.5-24.9 kg/m2 were assigned to the standard group, and those with a BMI of ≥25 kg/m2 were assigned to the obesity group. The mean doses of VCM per time (mg/kg) to achieve the target trough concentration of VCM, 15-20 μg/mL, were 19.8 ± 4.3, 16.5 ± 3.7, and 13.7 ± 2.7 mg/kg in the lean, standard, and obesity groups, respectively. The dose per time to achieve the target trough concentration decreased significantly in association with an increase of BMI. The upper limit of the recommended dose (15-20 mg/kg) or higher in lean patients, and the lower dose in obese patients than the recommended dose might be appropriate to achieve the target trough concentration when we calculated the dose per time based on actual body weight.

RATIONALE: Histoplasmosis occurs most commonly in Northern and Central America and Southeast Asia. Increased international travel in Japan has led to a few annual reports of imported histoplasmosis. Healed sites of histoplasmosis lung infection may remain as nodules and are often accompanied by calcification. Previous studies in endemic areas supported the hypothesis that new infection/reinfection, rather than reactivation, is the main etiology of symptomatic histoplasmosis. No previous reports have presented clinical evidence of reactivation. PATIENT CONCERNS: An 83-year-old Japanese man was hospitalized with general fatigue and high fever. He had been treated with prednisolone at 13 mg/d for 7 years because of an eczematous skin disease. He had a history of travel to Los Angeles, Egypt, and Malaysia 10 to 15 years prior to admission. Five years earlier, computed tomography (CT) identified a solitary calcified nodule in the left lingual lung segment. The nodule size remained unchanged throughout a 5-year observation period. Upon admission, his respiratory condition remained stable while breathing room air. CT revealed small, randomly distributed nodular shadows in the bilateral lungs, in addition to the solitary nodule. DIAGNOSIS: Disseminated histoplasmosis, based on fungal staining and cultures of autopsy specimens. INTERVENTIONS: The patient's fever continued despite several days of treatment with meropenem, minocycline, and micafungin. Although he refused bone marrow aspiration, isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, and prednisolone were administered for a tentative diagnosis of miliary tuberculosis. OUTCOMES: His fever persisted, and a laboratory examination indicated severe thrombocytopenia with disseminated intravascular coagulation. He died on day 43 postadmission. During autopsy, the fungal burden was noted to be higher in the calcified nodule than in the disseminated nodules of the lung, suggesting a pathogenesis involving endogenous reactivation of the nodule and subsequent hematogenous and lymphatic spread. LESSONS: Physicians should consider histoplasmosis in patients with calcified nodules because the infection may reactivate during long-term corticosteroid therapy.

Background: Sitafloxacin (STFX) exhibits potent activity against Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. However, limited data are available for the clinical efficacy and adverse effects of STFX and the susceptibility of refractory MAC lung disease (MAC-LD) to the drug. Therefore, this study was aimed at evaluating the clinical efficacy and safety of an STFX-containing regimen for the treatment of refractory MAC-LD. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated treatment outcomes of 31 patients with refractory MAC-LD, who received an STFX-containing regimen for ≥4 weeks between January 2010 and July 2017. Refractory MAC-LD was defined as persistent positive sputum cultures for >6 months of macrolide-based standard therapy. Results: Clarithromycin resistance (minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] ≥32 μg/mL) was identified in 15 patients (48%). Twelve months after receiving the STFX-containing regimen, 26% and 19% of patients showed symptomatic and radiological responses, respectively. Although STFX-associated adverse effects were noted in 9 patients, their severity was grade 1 (National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria); only 1 patient discontinued STFX because of suspected gastrointestinal disturbance. Negative sputum culture conversion was achieved in 7 patients (23%). Both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that surgery, low STFX MIC (≤1 μg/mL), and macrolide resistance were significant predictors of negative sputum culture conversion. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that STFX may be effective in one-fourth of patients with refractory MAC-LD. Prospective larger studies that include the analyses of MAC are needed to determine the clinical efficacy of STFX against refractory MAC-LD.
