    Author: Chien JY, Lai CC, Sheng WH, Yu CJ, Hsueh PR.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2014 Aug; 20(8):1382-5. PubMed ID: 25062534.
    Abstract:
    We analyzed samples from 13,652 patients who had respiratory cultures positive for mycobacteria in Taiwan during 2000-2012 and found that 56.9% were positive for nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Whereas annual prevalence of tuberculosis decreased during the study period, prevalence of NTM disease and colonization increased, particularly among older patients and male patients.
