Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are now treated for a relatively long time, with treatment taking about 18-24 months, and some patients are cured. NTM may be prone to relapse after cure. Because it is resistant to tuberculosis drugs, the choice of drug therapy is limited, so the treatment time is longer and the relapse rate is higher. Not too many patients are able to receive treatment and complete the course of treatment. Therefore, patients with NTM can be cured, but they need to have the confidence to cooperate with the program and complete the course of treatment. Now there are some new drugs being developed, and I believe that eventually the treatment of NTM will be the same as that of tuberculosis, with a cure rate of more than 90%. The above questions are for reference only. Please refer to the doctor’s instructions for specific medication and treatment.
