Outcomes of adjunctive surgery for nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Owing to the unsatisfactory results of antibiotic treatment alone, surgical resection is currently considered as adjunctive therapy in patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD).
