Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a risk factor for the development of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection. Prevalence of these organisms varies from center to center with the predominance of affected patients being in the adult population. The difficulty in diagnosing NTM infection in CF involves the overlap between signs and symptoms of underlying CF lung disease with its variable pathogens and...Keywords
