Heathert thanks for posting this article..... interesting .....one statement I have never seen before... NTM Patients will have to be monitored for all their lives.
In May...the 17, 2018 in San Diego.... American Thoracic Society and NTMINFO.Org will be having a joint conference. I believe the ATA will publish current NTM treatment guidelines.

Thanks for the guidelines. It looks like the Antibiotic therapy treatment is the same as previously recommended. They do not say the length of treatment. Is it still 18 months?
