Management of Drug Toxicity in Mycobacterium avium Complex Pulmonary Disease: An Expert Panel Survey
Abstract
Adverse events are frequent in nontuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease treatment, but evidence to support their management is scarce. An expert panel survey on management of adverse events shows consistent opinions on management of hepatoxicity, ocular toxicity, ototoxicity, tinnitus, and gastrointestinal upset. These opinions can provide assistance in individual patient management decisions.
Keywords: Mycobacterium avium complex; adverse events; antibiotic treatment; azithromycin; nontuberculous mycobacteria.
