Abstract
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have been recognized as an important caus e of disease in immunocompromised hosts. Pulmonary disease caused by NTM is increasingly recognized in previously healthy persons. Investigation of pu lmonary disease affecting a family of five identified an indoor hot tub as the source of NTM-related disease.
