The ESCMID Study Group for Mycobacterial Infections (ESGMYC) is dedicated to fighting mycobacterial infections, including tuberculosis, leprosy, and non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections. Aiming to improve their diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, we are committed to:
Clinical standards for the management of adverse effects during treatment for TB.
