Non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis (NTM) are infectious diseases caused by mycobacteria that are not part of the Tuberculosis complex. More than 190 species have been identified to date. As an environmental reservoir, it most often affects the lungs, skin and soft tissues, lymph nodes, but it can affect all organs. Varying in virulence depending on the species, most infections do not cause illness. There is currently no coordinated care pathway for this pathology in Alsace. The means necessary to set up such a structure requires knowing the importance of the disease.
