Distinguishing Tuberculosis from Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Lung Disease, Oregon, USA

To determine whether tuberculosis (TB) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection patients could be distinguished from one another with limited information, we compared pulmonary TB and NTM patients during 2005–2006. Our finding that age, birthplace, and presence of chronic obstructive pulmonar...
