    Abstract Non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease is growing in incidence and prevalence. However, it is frequently overlooked as a differential diagnosis by both clinicians and radiologists alike due to its non-specific clinical features, wide spectrum of radiological findings and difficulty in isolating the causative organism. The aim of this article is to illustrate the spectrum and follow-up of the radiological findings of non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease and the challenges involved in making a diagnosis.

    Abstract Background: Lung disease after tuberculous confers significant morbidity. However, the determinants of persistent lung damage in TB are not well established. We investigated associations between TB-associated radiologic changes and sociodemographic factors, surrogates of bacillary burden, and blood inflammatory markers at initiation of therapy and after 1 month.
    Research question: What are the predictors of radiologic severity at the end of TB treatment for TB?
    Study design and methods: We collected data from patients treated for drug-sensitive pulmonary TB at our center over a 5.5-year period. We recorded age, sex, ethnicity, smoking status, symptom duration, sputum smear grade, time to culture positivity, and blood results (C-reactive protein and neutrophil count) at baseline and after 1 month of treatment. Chest radiographs obtained at baseline, 2 months, and end of treatment were assessed independently by two radiologists and scored using a validated system. Relationships between predictor variables and radiologic outcomes were assessed using linear or binary logistic regression.
    Results: We assessed 154 individuals with a mean age of 37 years, 63% of whom were men. In a multivariate analysis, baseline radiologic severity correlated with sputum smear grade (P = 0.003) and neutrophil count (P < 0.001). At end of treatment, only the 1-month neutrophil count was associated significantly with overall radiologic severity in the multivariate analysis (r = 0.34; P = 0.003) and remained significant after controlling for baseline radiologic scores. The 1-month neutrophil count also was the only independent correlate of volume loss and pleural thickening at the end of treatment and was significantly higher in patients with persistent cavitation or effusion vs those without.
    Interpretation: Persistent neutrophilic inflammation after 1 month of TB therapy is associated with poor radiologic outcome, suggesting a target for interventions to minimize lung disease after tuberculous.

    Abstract A rising number of non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) isolates are being identified in UK clinical practice. There are many uncertainties around the management of non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD), including its epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Regional variations in how patients with NTM-PD are managed reflects the lack of standardised pathways in the UK. Service optimisation and multidisciplinary working can improve the quality of care for patients with NTM-PD, including (1) better identification of patients at risk of NTM-PD and modification of risk factors where applicable; (2) standardisation of reference laboratory testing to offer clinicians access to accurate and prompt information on NTM species and drug sensitivities; (3) development of recognised specialist NTM nursing care; (4) standardisation of NTM-PD imaging strategies for monitoring of treatment and disease progression; (5) establishment of a hub-and-spoke model of care, including clear referral and management pathways, dedicated NTM-PD multidisciplinary teams, and long-term patient follow-up; (6) formation of clinical networks to link experts who manage diseases associated with NTM; (7) enabling patients to access relevant support groups that can provide information and support for their condition; and (8) development of NTM research groups to allow patient participation in clinical trials and to facilitate professional education.

    Abstract Invasive fungal diseases are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in a wide range of patients, and early diagnosis and management are a challenge. We therefore did a review of the scientific literature to generate a series of key recommendations for the appropriate use of microbiological, histological, and radiological diagnostic methods for diagnosis of invasive fungal diseases. The recommendations emphasise the role of microscopy in rapid diagnosis and identification of clinically significant isolates to species level, and the need for susceptibility testing of all Aspergillus spp, if treatment is to be given. In this Review, we provide information to improve understanding of the importance of antigen detection for cryptococcal disease and invasive aspergillosis, the use of molecular (PCR) diagnostics for aspergillosis, and the crucial role of antibody detection for chronic and allergic aspergillosis. Furthermore, we consider the importance of histopathology reporting with a panel of special stains, and emphasise the need for urgent (<48 hours) and optimised imaging for patients with suspected invasive fungal infection. All 43 recommendations are auditable and should be used to ensure best diagnostic practice and improved outcomes for patients.
