M. avium-intracellulare was identified by means of sputum cultures, pleural effusion culture and lymph node culture. The anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody was negative. The CD4+ cell count was normal. Bronchoscopic examination revealed multiple polypoid lesions, which had nearly occluded the right main bronchus, right middle lobe and left lower lobe bronchi. Neodymium yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd-YAG) laser and antimycobacterial therapy were used effectively to relieve the airway obstruction. The clinical symptoms and signs responded favourably to antimycobacterial therapy.[SDGs]SDG3amikacin; clarithromycin; imipenem; ofloxacin; adult; article; bronchus disease; bronchus obstruction; case report; female; human; laser surgery; lymphadenopathy; mycobacteriosis; mycobacterium intracellulare avium; neodymium laser; pleura effusion; priority journal; Adult; Airway Obstruction; Bronchial Diseases; Female; HIV Seronegativity; Humans; Lasers; Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare Infectionjournal article10.1183/09031936.97.1002049790426562-s2.0-0031041939
