Four patients with pulmonary M. kansasii infection were discovered during the last five years in the southern coastal area of Okayama Prefecture, from where no patients due to M. kansasii had been reported. The relation of four cases were studied from the view point of contact because of uncertain epidemiology and pathogenesis of the atypical mycobacteriosis. The first case, discovered in November 1976, had stayed for one year in the area near to Tokyo where the disease due to M. kansasii was relatively common. The second case, discovered in July 1977, had been working in the neighbourhood of the first case (at five meter distance) in the same factory. The third case had worked in an iron manufacturing factory in the same area, and the forth case had also been working as a welder in the same area. Further careful study on the spread of new patients with Mkansassi infection in Okayama, the virgin prefecture of the disease, is considered to be important to increase our knowledge on transmission of the disease.
