Abstract
Relationship between the prevalence rate of non-tuberculous pulmonary mycobacteriosis and the prevalence rate of active lung tuberculosis in the period of 1971 to 1982 (12 years) was observed in five prefectures, Hokkaido, Tokyo, Aichi, Osaka, and Fukuoka. The prevalence rate of non-tuberculous lung mycobacteriosis was estimated as a product of the prevalence rate of active lung tuberculosis and the ratio of the number of patients with non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis against the number of patients newly hospitalized in lung tuberculosis depart ments. The ratio was determined in the National Sapporo Minami Hospital, Hokkaido, the National Tokyo Hospital, Tokyo, the National Chubu Hospital, Aichi, the National Kinki Chuo Hospital, Osaka, and the National Fukuoka Higashi Hospital, Fukuoka, respectively.<BR>The prevalence rates of active lung tuberculosis were reduced markedly during the recent 12 years observed, while the prevalence rates of non-tuberculous lung mycobacteriosis remained at almost the same level. The prevalence rate of the non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis was highest in Osaka, 2 to 5 per 105 population, moderate in Tokyo, Aichi and Fukuoka, 1 to 3 per 105 population, and the lowest in Hokkaido, less than 0.75 per 105 population.<BR>The difference in the prevalence rates of non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis might be explained by the following factors: (a) difference of ecological state of mycobacteria in the environment due to different climate; (b) difference of dusty environment due to different industries.
