Abstract：
Infection with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is an increasingly important cause of pulmonary disease, particularly in immunocompromised patients or those suffering from chronic lung conditions. However, though rare, non-tubercular mycobacterial infection and bronchiectasis may also occur in an immunocompetent patient. This unusual condition is typically seen in middle-aged or elderly white females, with bronchiectasis having a predilection for the middle lobe and lingula. Here, we present a similar case of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection with middle lobe bronchiectasis in an elderly immunocompetent female, recognized as Lady Windermere Syndrome (LWS).
摘要：
非结核分枝杆菌（NTM）感染是肺部疾病的重要原因。特别是在免疫功能低下的患者或患有慢性肺部疾病的患者中。然而,虽然罕见，非结核分枝杆菌感染和支气管扩张也可能发生在免疫功能正常的患者中。这种不寻常的情况通常见于中年或老年白人女性，支气管扩张对中叶和舌部有好感。这里,我们提出了一个类似的情况下，鸟分枝杆菌复合体（MAC）感染与中叶支气管扩张的老年女性，被公认为温德米尔夫人综合症（LWS）。
