There is an increasing awareness of non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) disease as our populations ages and survival increases in chronic diseases due to new medical advances. NTM infections are often challenging to diagnose unless you are thinking about them as a possibility in your differential diagnosis. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify population subgroups that are at increased risk for NTM infections. In this edition of the JIM podcast, Drs. Stephanie Baers and Sarah Tran discuss their recent manuscript: Non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections in patients with end-stage renal disease: Prevalence, risk factors, and mortality which can be found in the October 2023 issue of JIM.
