The differential diagnosis of atypical mycobacteriosis caused by atypical mycobacteria (with the exception of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium bovis, and Mycobacterium leprae) which are widly distributed in soil and water, from pulmonary tuberculosis is possible only when atypical mycobacteria are isolated and identified. In this investigation, attempts were made to isolate atypical mycobacteria from persons registered as tuberculosis patients in the Anyang Health Center in Anyang City, Kyungki province, Korea. Biological and biochemical tests were performed for the atypical mycobacteria isolated from these patients, also retrospective analysis of clinical and X-ray findings of the patients with bacteriologically confirmed atypical mycobacteriosis were done. The results can be summarized as follows; 1. 103 strains of mycobacteria were isolated among 334 sputum samples from patients. 2. Among the isolated mycobacteria, 10 strains (9.7%) were found to be an atypical mycobacteria and 93 strains (90.3%) were tubercle bacilli of human type. 3. On the basis of Runyon's grouping of atypical mycobacteria, there were 3 strains (30.0%) of scotochromogen and nonphotochromogen respectively, 4 strains (40.0%) of rapid grower, and no photochromogen. 4. By biochemical tests, 3 strains of scotochromogen were identified as Mycobacterium scroful-aceum (2 strains) and Mycobacterium szulgai (1 strain) 3 strains of nonphotochromogen were Mycobacterium avium-complex (2 strains) and Mycobacterium terriae (1 strain), and 4 strains of rapid grower were Mycobacterium fortuitum (3 strains) and Mycobacterium chelonae. 5. In drug sensitivity tests, all 10 strains isolated atypical mycobacteria showed resistance to various concentration of INH and SM and low concentration (10 mcg, 40 mcg and 50 mcg) of EB, TH, and CS, and were sensitive to only high concentration (20 mcg and 100 mcg) of EB, TH, CS, and RFP. 6. In analysis of clinical findings by the patients with bacteriologically confirmed atypical mycobacteriosis, it was found that clinical symptoms of these patients appeared not to be mild than those of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. The patients with atypical mycobacteriosis had been treated for pulmonary tuberculosis for a long time and they showed no improvement.

Eosinophilic granuloma of bone well-documented in the literature. This lytic bone disease most commonly occurs in children, but a fraction of the cases does occurs in adult. When the disease occurs in adults, the bone most often affected include the skull, ribs, mandible, clavicle, pelvis, and long bone of the extremities. We report the case of a 31-year old woman with isolated eosinophilic granuloma of the thoracic spine. She had a 1-month history of progressive back pain that radiated to the right anterior chest. Authors performed resection of vertebral body lesion and soft tissue lesion and anterior fusion from T7 to T9. Immunochemical staining showed a positive S100 protein stain. EM demonstrated characteristic Birbeck granule. Postoperatively, the patient underwent a 5-day course of RT to the T6-T10 spine with 200cGY fractions (total dose 1000cGY). Postoperatively, the patient's back and chest pain had disappeared. There is no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis at 18 months follow-up. Though rare, eosinophilic granuloma of the adult spine could be considered in the differential diagnosis of osteolytic lesions.
