The

The Lady Windermere Syndrome page was marked:

needs wikification
stub
needs attention

I worked on wikifying and I don't think it's a stub anymore, so I removed those tags.

But is the article still in need of attention?

Revise, respecting MAI are two species

The community, including the page's first reference, have reached consensus that MAI is really two species-- avium and intracellulare. Therefore content such as "It is a saprotrophic organism..." is inappropriate. This page might best be renamed MAC - mycobacterium avium complex-- infection. MAC is more commonly used than MAI.

New to Wiki: This is to call attention to a citational error: Baker was not a co-author of the original Lady Windermere syndrome (LWS)paper. Reich and Johnson were the sole authors. Reich JM, Johnson RE. Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare disease presenting as an isolated middle lobe or lingular pattern: Lady Windermere syndrome. Chest 1992;101:1605-09.

As the author of a recent editorial addressing the pathogenesis of LWS, I may be expressing a personal bias. The author may wish to review the paper and incorporate whatever he views as salient.I can furnish a copy of the paper if desired: Reich JM. Pathogenesis of Lady Windermere Syndrome [editorial] Scand J Infect Dis 2012 Jan;44(1):1-2.

Less well known in the pediatric literature on MAC is primary pulmonary disease attributable, presumably, to massive inoculation in an immunologically naive host: Reich JM. Primary pulmonary disease due to Mycobacterium avium-complex [case report]. Chest 1992;101:1447-48. Reich JM. Primary pulmonary disease due to Mycobacterium avium-complex [letter]. Chest 1993;104:651

Merge

We should likely have one article about the disease and one about the bacterium itself. The infection material should be in that article and therefore moved it.
