Abstract

Incidence of pulmonary infection with nontuberculous nnycobacteria (NTM) is increasing among persons with cystic fibrosis (CF). We assessed prevalence and management in CF centers in the United Kingdom and found 5.0% of 3,805 adults and 3.3% of 3,3.17 children had recently been diagnosed with NTM. Of those, 44% of adults and 47% of children received treatment.
