Abstract
In patients with nodular bronchiectatic (NB) nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTM-LD), risk factors for disease progression have not been clearly investigated. The roles of cavitary NB and soluble programmed death protein-1 (sPD-1), an immune-related biomarker, in the disease course of NB NTM-LD remain unknown.
