Introduction:
Lady Windermere syndrome (LWS) is a pulmonary disease caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). The objective of this study is to ascertain its frequency and characteristics in the northern area of the autonomous community of Castile and León.
Methods:
A retrospective study of patients with MAC isolates in respiratory samples from five public hospitals in the autonomous community over a six-year period, following the ATS/IDSA criteria. The MAC strains were identified by GenoType Mycobacterium reverse hybridisation probes or PCR-RFLP analysis of the hsp65 gene.
Results:
Of 183 cases of MAC identified, only five women (2.7%) aged 68.8±10.7years met LWS criteria. In three cases, MAC was isolated jointly and intermittently with other pathogens. Only one patient was treated according to ATS/IDSA criteria.
Discussion:
LWS remains underestimated, with affected patients representing a significant burden on healthcare resources over long periods of time. As a result, greater microbiological and therapeutic knowledge of the syndrome is needed.
