Impact of Surgical Intervention in Patients With Macrolide-Resistant <i>Mycobacterium avium</i> Complex Pulmonary Disease: A Multicentre Study
Surgical resection is a viable and safe therapeutic option for selected patients with MR-MAC pulmonary disease, with long-term infection control comparable to that of non-MR-MAC cases. These findings support early surgical intervention in carefully selected patients with localized destructive lesions.
