Over the period of 1992-1996, the number of patients discharging atypical mycobacteria was found out to have gotten increased. The clinical picture of the pathological processes induced by the above-named mycobacteria is similar to that seen in tuberculosis. An untimely diagnosis of mycobacterioses together with difficulties in their recognition suggest a great need for quest for novel clinical and laboratory methods of detection and diagnosis as well as efficient treatment option for these diseases.
