Management of pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease.
Nontuberculous mycobacteria are increasingly recognized as causes of chronic pulmonary disease. Treatment decisions are guided by the clinical presentation, microbial isolate, and condition of the patient. Management may include antibiotic therapy, surgical resection, or observation. Definitive trials are lacking, and optimum management remains uncertain.
