doi:10.3969/j.issn.2096-8493.2021.02.005

Abstract

Abstract:

To further standardize the diagnosis of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) diseases in China, Chinese Anti-tuberculosis Association developed a consortium standard The Diagnosis of Non-tuberculous Mycobacterial Disease which was launched and put it into force from July 7th, 2020. In this paper, the background and main content of the standard are explained in detail to provide references for the majority of health care workers,and to further improve the general understanding and diagnosis capability of NTM disease.

Key words: Mycobacteria, atypical, Diagnosis, Standard reading
