    Author: Kavookjian H, Jones JW, Shah S, Escobar H, Swanson D, Nicklaus P.
    Journal: Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol; 2018 Oct; 127(10):726-730. PubMed ID: 29962232.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To describe a safe and effective treatment for endobronchial Mycobacterium avium complex. METHODS: Case report and literature review. RESULTS: We present a case of endobronchial M. avium complex in a healthy child treated with serial carbon-dioxide laser excisions and antibiotic triple therapy using azithromycin, rifampin, and ethambutol. No current guideline for the treatment of these lesions in the pediatric population exists. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with airway impingement, serial endoscopic surgical resection combined with antibiotics can provide safe and effective management.
