  • Title: Outcomes of a standardized triple-drug regimen for the treatment of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary infection.
    Author: Murray MP, Laurenson IF, Hill AT.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2008 Jul 15; 47(2):222-4. PubMed ID: 18532890.
    Abstract:
    The treatment of fibrocavitatory pulmonary infection due to Mycobacterium avium complex and Mycobacterium malmoense poses a challenge. This study assessed microbial, inflammatory, radiographic, and clinical outcomes for a standardized 24-month triple-drug regime. Following treatment completion, all patients had fewer symptoms, experienced a reduction in systemic inflammation, and had negative sputum mycobacterial culture results.
