Nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM PD) incidence trends in the United States, 2010–2019
Here we provide current estimates of NTM PD incidence and prevalence and describe increasing trends in the US from 2010 to 2019. Our study suggests a need for improved healthcare planning to handle an increased future caseload, as well as improved diagnostics and therapeutics to better detect and treat NTM PD in populations aged ≥ 65 years.
