In this study, we investigated 45 foreign patients who had been diagnosed as having tuberculosis in Chugoku-Shikoku area during the past 12 years. Regarding regional characteristics, in Hiroshima prefecture an epidemic of tuberculosis was experienced among patients coming from South America, but antituberculous therapy was performed for 87% of the patients because of the high coverage of the health insurance scheme. But in Okayama prefecture, most of the patients were female and came from Asian countries, such as, the Philippines. Antituberculous therapy was not performed for nine patients because of no coverage of the health insurance scheme. In the other prefectures, only a few cases of tuberculosis were experienced, but in Yamaguchi prefecture two of three foreign patients were multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

Fourty-five sputum specimens collected at the National Sanatorium Hiroshima Hospital were subjected to cultivation using either BACTEC 460 TB System (BACTEC method; Becton Dickinson Co., Towson, Md., U.S.A.) or 3% Ogawa egg medium. Test suptum was treated with four volumes of 4% NaOH for approximately two minutes, after which 0.1ml of the treated sputum was immediately inoculated onto 3% Ogawa egg medium. After neutralizing the remaining pretreated sputum with 1N HCl, and diluting with 1/15 M phosphate buffer PB; pH 6.8), it was then centrifuged at 3, 000rpm for 20min and the sediment was suspended in 1.5 ml of PB. Volumes of 0.5 ml each were inoculated into BACTEC 12B medium (4ml), containing PANTA for prevention of contamination and POES for promoting the growth of mycobacteria.In the BBCTEC method, bacterial growth was measured in terms of increases in the Growth Index (GI) values which were determined by the amount of 14CO2 released from the 14C -labelled palmitate during cultivation at 37°C (positive growth;GI≤50). Moreover, ρInitro-α-acetylamino-β-hydroxy-propiophenone (NAP)-sensitivity testing was done by transferring a part of the BACTEC 12B culture showing positive growth to a NAP vial, and thereafter subjected to further cultivation.Among the 45 sputum specimens, the number of positive specimens for mycobacterial growth in the afore mentioned cultivation methods and time required for growth were as follows: 3% Ogawa egg medium, 12 specimens (27%), seven M. tuberculosis complex strains at 12-35 days (average 21 days), five M. avium complex strains at 14-21 days (average 18 days): BACTEC method, 18 specimens (40%), 11 M. tuberculosis complex strains at 3-28 days (average 14 days), six M. avium complex strains at 3-10 days (average 6 days) and one M. scrofulaceum strain at 28 days. There were no specimens that tested positive for mycobacterial growth on 3% Ogawa egg medium but negative in BACTEC 12B medium. The BACTEC method was most efficacious in cultivating acid-fast bacilli from smear-negativeWhen NAP-sensitivity testing was done using the BACTEC method, mycobacteria in 11 test sputa were deteremined as NAP-sensitive, thereby belonging to M. tuberculosis complex. The fact that all of the organisms determined as NAP-sensitive using the BACTEC method were rough and nonphotochromogenic, and identified as M. tuberculosis complex by AccuProbeTM testing, confirmed the reliability of NAP-testing. sputa.The mycobacteria in seven sputum specimens detected using the BACTEC method were determined as NAP-resistant. Six of them were smooth and nonphotochromogenic, and identified as M. avium complex by AccuProbe testing. The one remaining strain was a scotochromogen with a smooth colony morphology, and had no reaction to either the M. tuberculosis complex- or M. avium complex-AccuProbe tests. This strain was identified as M. scrofulaceum using an α-antigen analysis.These results indicate the usefulness of the BACTEC 460 TB system in the rapid diagnosis of mycobacteria including M. tuberculosis complex and M. avium complex.

To reveal the possibility of differentiating diseases caused by M. tuberculosis and M. intracellulare, simultaneous tuberculin testing by PPDs and PPD-B was carried outamong X-ray suspects of tuberculosis and healthy persons.PPD-B was prepared by Dr. Tasaka (Department of Bacteriology, Hiroshima University) from M. intracellulare (ATCC13950).For tuberculin testing, 0.05μg of PPDs from M. tuberculosis (Nihon BCGCo.) and 0.1, μg of PPD-B were used.The study included61patients with disease caused by M. tuberculosis (TB), 23 patients with that of M. avium complex (MAC) and 40 healthy persons with no roentgenologicalabnormality (H).Forty healthy persons had been vaccinated with BCG. Statisticalanalysis of the diameter of reaction (redness) in each antigen in each group has been doneby Boxplotting method.The results were as follows: 75% upper quartile point, median, 25%lower quartile point/mean S. D.: PPDs in TB (41.8, 30.0, 19.0/32.0-17.7) PPDB in TB (15.0, 10.5, 5.0/10.9 8.1) PPDs in MAC (26.0, 10.0, 7.0/16.4-13.9) PPDB in MAC (20.5, 17.5, 12.5/19.1-11.4) PPDs in H (18.0, 12.0, 6.0/13.5-10.9) PPDB in H (7.0, 2.8, 0.0/4.4-5.4).Mean of PPDs in TB patients and PPD-B in MAC patients were significantly (P<0.01) larger than those in other groups. Significant differences of reaction by age distribution, previous history of mycobacteriosis or other diseaseswere not observed.In each patient, larger skin test reaction correlated with the infected organism in 71 (85%) of the 84 cases.In 61 patients with M. tuberculosis infection, reaction to PPDs waslarger than that of PPD-B in 58, and the reaction to PPD-B was larger than that of PPDs in only one subject, and the reaction to PPDs and PPD-B were smaller than 5mm in 2. In 23 patients with MAC infection, the reaction to PPD-B was larger than that of PPDs in 13, the reaction to PPDs was larger than that of PPD-B in8and the reaction to PPDs and PPD-B were smaller than 5mm in 2.It is concluded that simultaneous skin test with PPDs and PPD-B is useful in thedifferential diagnosis of mycobacterial disease due to M. tuberculosis and M. aviumcomplex prior to bacteriologic confirmation by culture.

A twenty-four year old male Peruvian of Japanese origin, who came to Japan in September 1990 and had been working in a minor factory in a rural area, was admitted to a hospital in March '91 with severe cough. Smear examination of his sputum smear was positive for acid-fast bacilli and his chest X-ray showed multiple cavities (Index case). Subsequent contact examination identified further four patients with pulmonary tuber culosis among his colleagues in the factory, all of whom lived in the same house with the index case.<BR>During following three years, further six patients with mycobacteriosis, two Peruvians and four Japanese, were found among the employee of that factory. M. tuberculosis was cultured from the sputa obtained from seven of these eleven patients. Another patient was diagnosed as non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis.<BR>Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis carried out with five strains of M. tuberculosis isolated from these patients revealed the identical RFLP pattern which is uncommon in Japan. Still more, an isolate from another patient was subjected to RFLP analysis by chance, and was found to show the same RFLP pattern. Later epidemiological study revealed that the last patient, a 53 year-old saleswoman of boxlunch, might have some contact with the index case at her booth.<BR>Though RFLP analysis was not done for the isolate from the index case, from the identity of RFLP patterns of other isolates, clinical course and epidemiological study, it is considered that six patients were certainly, and two others were probably infected from the index case. One of the patients had a history of surgical treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis and, as RFLP analysis could not be carried out, it is not possible to determine whether his disease was due to reactivation or re-infection.<BR>Tuberculin skin test survey of 133 workers in the factory was carried out in March '91. The diameter of erythema showed bimodal distribution pattern for the Japanese workers. Considering that most of the young Japanese have been vaccinated with BCG, it is assumed that at least 40% (10/23) of Japanese workers younger than thirty years old were infected in this epidemic. All the Peruvians, who had not been vaccinated with BCG, showed positive reaction to PPD (mean diameter was 41.9mm) and were assumed to had been infected newly in this epidemics or in the past. Chemoprophylaxis were indicated for two young Peruvians only. Subsequent patients were diagnosed among the strong tuberculin reactors (For Japanese ≥50 mm, for Peruvians ≥30mm in diameter).<BR>Total delay in the diagnosis of the index case was considered to be about six months. Though he was coughing on his entrance to Japan on September '90, no reliable medical checkup was done until he was pointed out the abnormal findings on his chest X-ray image at a routine medical checkup in November '90. At that time he was recommended to go to some hospital or clinics, but he did not obey this recommendation promptly. Such a delay may cause this outbreak.
