[NTM Info & Research @NTMinfo]

People can have NTM for months, sometimes years, without knowing because symptoms are similar to other lung conditions. NTM infection can cause permanent damage if left untreated. If you are suffering from cough, fatigue, and weight loss, visit your doctor immediately.

[NTM Info & Research @NTMinfo]

However, pulmonary infections, lymphadenitis, and skin and soft tissue infections are the most commonly described attributable human infections.

Both host factors and organism characteristics influence the susceptibility and manifestations of infection.

[NTM Info & Research @NTMinfo]

Many people who have NTM may not know it for months or years. Getting tested is the first step to being properly diagnosed. The sooner you receive a diagnosis, the sooner you can begin your treatment options.
