    The Relationship with Other Diseases
    (e.g., bronchiectasis, tuberculosis)

In this project, we aim to estimate the prevalence of NTM-LD. We also try to clarify the present situation: what examination is used in giving a diagnosis, what makes a medical doctor think of testing, and what antibacterial drug is used in the treatment.

This questionnaire consists of several sections. Sections you answer depend on your answer in the previous questions.

  • General questions
  • Questions about consultation
  • Inquiries regarding treatment
  • The Relationship between NTM lung disease and Bronchiectasis
  • The Relationship between NTM lung disease and Tuberculosis
  • Additional questions

Through this survey, we analyze whether there is any room to improve in the diagnosis and treatment system. We are sure that this study contributes greatly to raising awareness of the NTM lung disease.
