Bronchiectasis.org is a web site to provide information and support for patients with bronchiectasis. This site was developed by NTM Info & Research, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed by and on behalf of patients with the comorbid conditions of bronchiectasis and nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease.
We serve patients, healthcare providers and researchers dealing with bronchiectasis and NTM. We do so by advocating a broad agenda to promote early diagnosis, improved treatments, and research. We bring a voice to the concerns of all our constituents with government officials and agencies that guide, research, and regulate therapies developed to treat these diseases.
NTM Info & Research recognizes the need for advancement in education and treatment of bronchiectasis. Because the majority of NTM patients also have bronchiectasis, treating both is essential. We also recognize that there are many patients who have bronchiectasis who do not have NTM infection. Many of them are susceptible to NTM and other infections.
We have online and local support groups willing to support and inform patients. You can learn more about these groups here.
