Investigation of available clinical data in rare NTM.

Contribute

Introduction: Treatment and management of rare NTM remains a considerable challenge as randomized controlled trials or systematic studies are scarce. Most therapeutic recommendations are based on in vitro data or clinical experience with more frequent NTM. The optimal therapy for most infections remains unclear.

Objectives: Investigation of clinical data regarding the clinical manifestations and therapeutic outcomes of rare NTM.

Methods: Literature review, (individual patient data) meta analysis.

Status: Ongoing
