Abstract
A single sputum culture positive for nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) could be an early sign of NTM lung disease. We found that 14% of patients with a single sputum culture positive for pathogenic NTM were diagnosed with NTM lung disease during the median follow-up period of 16 months.Entities:
