Chest CT scan findings in patients with pulmonary mycobacterial infection (n = 244). CT scans were performed within 6 weeks of pulmonary specimen and radiologist reports read for findings of bronchiectasis, nodules, cavities and/or effusion. (A) All 244 CT scans could be binned into categories of either bronchiectasis, bronchiectasis + nodules (B+N), nodules, cavities + nodules (C+N), cavities, bronchiectasis + cavities (B+C), effusion, nodules + effusion (N+E). *, p < 0.05 for M. tuberculosis rate of cavities or effusion vs. all NTM.
