TL;DR
This study compares the prevalence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in Türkiye and globally from 2012 to 2022, highlighting species distribution and diagnostic methods.
Contribution
The study provides updated global and national NTM prevalence data and species distribution using a systematic review approach.
Findings
In Türkiye, 7.54% of 17,293 samples tested positive for NTM, with M. abscessus being the most common species.
Globally, 2.46% of 512,626 samples tested positive for NTM, with M. intracellulare as the most common species.
NTM prevalence and species distribution vary significantly, influenced by multiple factors.
Abstract
ABSTRACT Latest status of non-tuberculous mycobacteria prevalence in Türkiye and the world: Systematic review Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) can cause diseases not only in indivi- duals with compromised immune systems but also in those with normal immune function. This study aimed to compare the prevalence of NTM in Türkiye and worldwide between 2012 and 2022. This study was designed following the guidelines outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) procedure. A systematic search was conducted between January 2012 and September 2022 using different electronic databases, including Pubmed, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Ebsco, Scopus, Türk Medline, and Google Scholar. During the litera- ture review process, titles and abstracts were examined and the full texts of the studies were accessed. In 13 research articles from Türkiye…
