The management of CF lung disease should be optimized, including antibiotic therapy targeted to the individual's usual airway bacteria, prior to considering treatment for NTM lung disease. Those who meet criteria for NTM lung disease may not necessaril...
متن کاملNontuberculous mycobacteria in cystic fibrosis and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.
Increasing numbers of cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis patients are affected by pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection worldwide. Two species of NTM account for up to 95% of the pulmonary NTM infections: Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABSC).

OBJECTIVE Patients with cystic fibrosis are at great risk of infection by nontuberculous mycobacteria from the environment because of certain predisposing factors such as bronchiectasis, malnutrition, and diabetes. The aim of this study was to analyze the mycobacterial content of sputum smears and cultures from adult patients with cystic fibrosis attended at a specialized unit for adults from M...
متن کاملShifting paradigms of nontuberculous mycobacteria in cystic fibrosis
Important paradigms of pulmonary disease with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are currently shifting based on an increasing attention within the field of cystic fibrosis (CF). These shifts are likely to benefit the management of all patients with pulmonary NTM, regardless of underlying pathology. Currently several key areas are being revised: The first outbreak of human NTM transmission has b...
متن کاملNontuberculous mycobacteria in cystic fibrosis: Updates and the path forward.
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are troublesome pathogens that can cause significant pulmonary disease in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Diagnosis can be difficult in the setting of underlying CF and treatment regimens are burdensome on both patients and providers. Recent consensus guidelines for treatment of NTM in CF have provided a guide for the CF community, however research is laggi...
