About this trial
The incidence and prevalence of pulmonary disease due to Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is increasing worldwide, and this trend has been confirmed in Korea. Treatment of NTM pulmonary disease is difficult and usually requires more than two years of long-term treatment, and the antibiotic regimens used in treatment vary. Therefore, it is difficult to track the natural history of patients with NTM pulmonary disease, to evaluate the treatment outcome, and to understand the effect of specific medicines on the outcome. Establishing a prospective registry of patients with NTM pulmonary disease is expected to accurately evaluate the progress, treatment modality, and treatment outcome of NTM pulmonary disease.
