In this issue of Clinics in Chest Medicine, guest editors Drs. Shannon Kasperbauer and Rachel Thomson bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease. Nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) is a challenging infection which is becoming increasingly prevalent, particularly in the elderly, for reasons which are unknown. In this issue, top experts discuss topics such as environmental sources and transmission of nontuberculous mycobacteria; global epidemiology; host susceptibility; investigation and management of bronchiectasis in nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease; and more.
