Risk Factors and Long-Term Prognosis for Coinfection of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease and Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis: A Multicentre Observational Study in Japan. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM‐PD) is a chronic respiratory infection with increasing prevalence and mortality worldwide. Coinfection with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is a significant complication of NTM‐PD, often complicating treatment and resulting in poor prognosis.
