Effectiveness of Amikacin liposome inhalation suspension for refractory Mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary disease at 6 months post initiation
ALIS facilitated sputum culture conversion within 6 months in 58.3% of patients with refractory MAC-PD. Sputum culture conversion was significantly more frequent for CLA-susceptible strains and patients with fewer cavitary lesions. Improved CT findings after ALIS did not always correspond to sputum culture conversion.
