Abstract
No objective serum biomarkers of disease course or treatment outcome of Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease (MAC-LD) presently exist. Serum IgA antibody levels against the glycopeptidolipid (GPL) core have good diagnostic accuracy for MAC-LD. However, their usefulness for monitoring and predicting disease course and outcome of MAC-LD following first-line antibiotic treatment remains unclear.We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort...
