Bronchiectasis & NTM Program

At NYU Langone’s Bronchiectasis and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) Program, our healthcare team uses its dedication, experience, and research know-how to provide treatments that can improve the lives and life spans of people who have chronic lung ailments.

Bronchiectasis, nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections, and cystic fibrosis affect the lungs’ ability to clear mucus from airways. This buildup of fluid affects lung function and increases the chance of infection.

Our program brings together a team of pulmonologists, gastroenterologists, infectious disease specialists, otolaryngologists, thoracic surgeons, physiatrists, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, and nutritionists who specialize in chest care to create a treatment plan that best meets the needs of each patient.

Our team is also committed to increasing education about these conditions. We host a patient education program on bronchiectasis and NTM infections that is aimed at helping patients better understand the condition and the treatment options available to them.

NYU Langone is a nationally recognized referral center for the treatment of people with bronchiectasis, NTM infections, and cystic fibrosis. Our physicians have treated more than 2,000 patients with these conditions, making us one of the leading care centers in the country. We are fully accredited by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
