Extract
We read with great interest the recent publication by Kwak et al. [1] involving a meta-analysis of studies reporting treatment outcomes for Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary disease (MAB-PD). The authors should be commended for identifying the association between azithromycin, amikacin and imipenem, and improved clinical outcome in MAB-PD.
