Infections due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria

Description

Any condition caused by an infection with Mycobacteria excluding infections due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and Mycobacterium leprae. These conditions commonly present with lung disease; however, symptoms are dependent on the site of infection. Transmission is by direct contact with non-tuberculous Mycobacteria in the environment. Confirmation is by identification of non-tuberculous Mycobacteria from the affected site(s).
