The study found that patients who had tested positive for nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM), M. abscessus or a similar infection were more likely than those who did not. inAreas with higher average annual rainfall have higher levels and more frequent flooding. ofsodium inThe soil.
The research, “Environmental predictors ofCystic fibrosis patients with pulmonary nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM), sputum positivity inThe state of Florida,” was published inThe journal PLOS ONE.
NTM lung disease can be caused by NTM infection. This is a condition that damages the lung tissue and is not treatable. There are many types of NTM infections. ofM. abscessus (NTM), M. avium and Mycobacterium avium, also known as M. avium Complex (MAC), are the most frequently found. in CF patients.
Reading recommendations
Because nontuberculous Mycobacteria are naturally present in soil, water, and dust, several studies previously attempted to analyze the relationship between environmental factors, such as soil properties, and NTM infections.
Researchers have identified several regions inNTM infections are the most common in the United States. FloridaWith the highest prevalence ofSuch infections are at the top...
