 AB    The worldwide increase in mycobacterial diseases, tuberculous and
       nontuberculous, and their association with human immunodeficiency virus
       infection has had and will continue to have an impact on the practice of
       otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeons. Epidemiologic and ecologic
       changes in tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacterial diseases tend
       to blur former clinicopathologic distinctions among these groups,
       especially in immunocompromised hosts. Diagnosis depends on objective
       identification of the mycobacterium, a process facilitated by molecular
       diagnostics.
