Clinical characteristics and diagnostic practices in nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease: Insights from Denmark
In Denmark, a high percentage of patients met the NTM-PD criteria compared to other studies, which may be attributed to a high prevalence of structural lung disease and delayed disease presentation and diagnosis. Many patients were initially seen in a fast-track pulmonary cancer pathway, which could be leveraged to improve the diagnostic pathway of NTM-PD.
