Clinical Relevance of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria, Oman [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
Little is known about the clinical relevance of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in the Arabian Peninsula. We assessed the prevalence and studied a random sample of isolates at a reference laboratory in Muscat, Oman. NTM cause disease in this region, and their prevalence has increased.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria in patients registered in a tuberculosis control program in Southwestern Colombia, 2014-2017

Interdisciplinary Journal of Epidemiology and Public Health, 2021
Introduction: Pulmonary disease produced by nontuberculous mycobacteria and pulmonary tuberculosis can share clinical signs and symptoms. It is important to discern one from the other in order to provide the proper treatment and programmatic management.
