Non-tuberculous mycobacteria in cystic fibrosis [PDF]
Thorax, 1998 The clinical significance of the presence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria in the sputum of patients with cystic fibrosis is unclear. A retrospective case-control study was performed to assess possible risk factors for non-tuberculous mycobacteria and its impact on clinical status in patients with cystic fibrosis.The records of all patients attending ...

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria in patients with bronchiectasis [PDF]
Thorax, 2005 Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous environmental organisms. Patients with pre-existing lung damage are susceptible to NTM, but their prevalence in bronchiectasis is unknown. Distinguishing between lung colonisation and disease can be difficult.A prospective study of 100 patients with bronchiectasis was undertaken to evaluate the ...
