After approval by the Institutional Review Board, patients scheduled for bronchoscopy for the diagnosis of NTM between the date of study implementation and the enrollment period on February 28, 2027 will be included. The target number of cases is 50. This is an observational study, and all patients undergoing bronchoscopy for the diagnosis of NTM within the study period will be included. Himeji Maria Hospital, where this study will be conducted, performs approximately 30 bronchoscopies for the diagnosis of NTM annually. Assuming a consent rate of approximately 80%, approximately 24 patients from Himeji Maria Hospital are expected to participate in the study during the study period. Including patients from Himeji Medical Center, Himeji Red Cross Hospital, Kawasaki Medical School (General Internal Medicine 4), Fukuyama Medical Center, Fukuyama City Hospital, Kurashiki Central Hospital, Hiroshima Prefectural Hospital, Yamaguchi University Hospital, Iwakuni Medical Center, Shimane University Hospital, Tottori University Hospital, and Okayama Medical Center, approximately 50 patients are expected to participate during the study period.
