Records were reviewed for demographic, clinical, and radiological characteristics. A MEDLINE search found previously reported cases. Data were extracted, followed by statistical analysis to compare two groups [cases with slow-growing mycobacteria (SGM) vs. those with rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM)] and evaluate for predictors of survival. NIH cases were evaluated for clinical and radiological characteristics. Cases from the literature were reviewed to determine the differences between SGM and RGM cases and to identify predictors of survival.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Six cases from NIH were identified (age 41\u2009\u00b1\u200913, 83% male). Five cases were caused by SGM [<jats:italic>Mycobacterium avium<\/jats:italic> complex (MAC) <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20094; <jats:italic>Mycobacterium haemophilum n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091] and one due to RGM (<jats:italic>Mycobacterium abscessus<\/jats:italic>). Underlying immune disorders were identified only in the SGM cases [genetic (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092), HIV (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091), sarcoidosis (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091), and anti-interferon-gamma antibodies (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091)]. All cases were diagnosed using tissue analysis. A literature review found 81 reports on 125 cases (SGM <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200985, RGM <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200938, non-identified <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092). No immune disorder was reported in 26 cases (21%). Within SGM cases, the most common underlying disease was HIV infection (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200955, 65%), and seizures and focal lesions were more common. In RGM cases, the most common underlying condition was neurosurgical intervention or implants (55%), and headaches and meningeal signs were common. Tissue-based diagnosis was used more for SGM than RGM (39% vs. 13%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.04). Survival rates were similar in both groups (48% SGM and 55% in RGM). Factors associated with better survival were a solitary CNS lesion (OR 5.9, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.01) and a diagnosis made by CSF sampling only (OR 9.9, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.04).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>NTM infections cause diverse neurological manifestations, with some distinctions between SGM and RGM infections.
