TLDR
NTM disease incidence has remained unchanged in Denmark over the past 12 years and negative prognostic factors include high levels of comorbidity, advanced age, male sex, and M. xenopi.Abstract:
Rationale: Few population-based data are available regarding nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) pulmonary disease epidemiology and prognosis.Objectives: To examine NTM pulmonary colonization incidence, disease incidence, and prognostic factors.Methods: All adults in Denmark with at least one NTM-positive pulmonary specimen during 1997 to 2008 were identified using national medical databases and were categorized as having possible or definite NTM disease or colonization.Measurements and Main Results: We calculated annual age-standardized NTM incidence rates and adjusted hazard ratios (HR) of death associated with patient age, sex, comorbidity, NTM species, and NTM disease status. Of 1,282 adults with 2,666 NTM-positive pulmonary specimens, 335 (26%) had definite NTM disease, 238 (19%) possible disease, and 709 (55%) colonization only. NTM incidence rates decreased until 2002, followed by an increase from 2003 to 2008 (mean annual rate per 100,000 person-years: NTM colonization, 1.36; NTM disease, 1.08). Fiv...read more

TL;DR: This guideline focuses on pulmonary disease in adults (without cystic fibrosis or human immunodeficiency virus infection) caused by the most common NTM pathogens such as Mycobacterium avium complex, MycOBacterium kansasii, and Myc Cobacterium xenopi among the slowly growing NTM and MyCobacterius abscessus among the rapidly growing N TM.
