Abstract

This review of non‐tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease over an 11‐year period identified 87 patients (74% women, mean age 66 years). Mycobacterium avium complex was isolated in 86% of patients. Antibiotics were commenced in 52% of patients; however, treatment was poorly tolerated with 36% terminating prematurely. Mortality was significant; death occurred in 31% of patients, with no relationship between death and treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
