2020年7月6日 · 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 Mycobacterium xenopi among the slowly growing NTM and Mycobacterium abscessus among the rapidly growing NTM.

2024年10月8日 · Treatment of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection of the lung is dependent upon a number of factors, including the species of the infecting organism. Members of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) are the most common pulmonary NTM pathogens in almost all regions of the world.

When initiating treatment of MAC-PD, a guideline-recommended, macrolide-based combination therapy using three oral drugs should be started and maintained for at least 12 months after sputum culture conversion to negative.

Mycobacterium avium Complex For macrolide-susceptible MAC-PD diagnosed in patients, the panel recommends using a three-drug regimen with inclusion of a macrolide (strong recommendation, very low certainty in estimates of effect) and ethambutol.

Treatment for mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) depends on where the infection is. Your doctor will also consider how serious your symptoms are and other medical conditions you may have.

The 2020 guidelines from ATS, ERS, ESCMID, and IDSA provide recommendations, but real-world adherence is often hindered by these issues, leading many patients to be ...

In patients with MAC pulmonary disease who have failed therapy after at least 6 months of guideline-based therapy, we recommend addition of ALIS to the treatment regimen rather than a standard oral regimen, only (strong recommendation, moderate certainty in estimates of effect).

The 2020 clinical practice guideline for the treatment of non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) by the American Thoracic Society, European Respiratory Society, European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, and Infectious Diseases Society of America; and the 2017 management guideline by the British Thoracic...
