Distinguishing Tuberculosis from Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Lung Disease, Oregon, USA

Year: 2011

Type: article

Study design: Observational Study

Abstract: To determine whether tuberculosis (TB) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection patients could be distinguished from one another with limited information, we compared pulmonary TB and NTM patients during 2005-2006. Our finding that age, birthplace, and presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease could differentiate TB and NTM disease could assist tuberculosis control efforts.
