    Author: Koh WJ, Chang B, Ko Y, Jeong BH, Hong G, Park HY, Jeon K, Lee NY.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2013 Feb; 75(2):225-6. PubMed ID: 23140755.
    Abstract:
    A single sputum culture positive for nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) could be an early sign of NTM lung disease. We found that 14% of patients with a single sputum culture positive for pathogenic NTM were diagnosed with NTM lung disease during the median follow-up period of 16 months.
