Uveitis with occult choroiditis due to Mycobacterium kansasii: limitations of interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) tests (case report and mini-review on ocular non-tuberculous mycobacteria and IGRA cross-reactivity) [PDF]
Ocular tuberculosis is difficult to diagnose but should be suspected when uveitis fails to respond to inflammation suppressive therapy. Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) represent a substantial help to diagnose suspected ocular tuberculosis ...

Pulmonary Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare is the main driver of the rise in non-tuberculous mycobacteria incidence in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, 2007–2012 [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) isolation from humans is increasing worldwide. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland (EW&NI) the reported rate of NTM more than doubled between 1996 and 2006.

Susceptibility testing of non-tuberculous mycobacteria [PDF]
There is little consensus about treatment for the diseases caused by the common non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Guidelines are based largely on retrospective, non-controlled studies. Where susceptibility testing data is available, in vitro testing often correlates poorly or not at all with the clinical response to treatment.
