- Try building your search one term at a time, and be as specific as you can! Search term example: "chronic cough".
- Do not enter multiple findings such as "anemia, chronic cough, weight loss, vomiting" all at the same time.
- After selecting your term from the search results a list of possible diagnoses will be generated. If the list is too long, you will be able to narrow it down by entering additional terms.
- Do not enter values such as "heart rhythm 110" or "sodium 125", instead use "tachycardia" or "hyponatremia".

- Definition
-
So-called atypical species of the genus MYCOBACTERIUM; They are also called tuberculoid bacilli, M buruli (see M ULCERANS), M CHELONAE, M duvalii, M flavescens, M FORTUITUM, M gilvum, M gordonae, M intracellulare (see MYCOBACTERIUM AVIUM COMPLEX), M KANSASII, M MARINUM, M obuense, M SCROFULACEUM, M szulgai, M terrae, M ULCERANS, M XENOPI; The usual infection is pulmonary as less aggressive pulmonary tuberculosis but with more resistance to usual drugs; treatment is with prolonged combination therapy often empiric; disseminated atypical mycobacteria usually occurs with immune deficiency (AIDS-HIV) and with the pulmonary subgroup (m Kansii, m scrofulosa, m fortuitum and m ulcerans
