State of Play of Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria in Alsace
- Conditions
- Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria
- Registration Number
- NCT06185166
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital, Strasbourg, France
- Brief Summary
Non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis (NTM) are infectious diseases caused by mycobacteria that are not part of the Tuberculosis complex. More than 190 species have been identified to date.
As an environmental reservoir, it most often affects the lungs, skin and soft tissues, lymph nodes, but it can affect all organs. Varying in virulence depending on the species, most infections do not cause illness.
There is currently no coordinated care pathway for this pathology in Alsace. The means necessary to set up such a structure requires knowing the importance of the disease.
- Detailed Description
The aim of the study is to determine the incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections in the ALSACE region, the proportion of cases in which the infection causes illness, and its evolution over time.
