Infectious disease specialists (also called “I.D.” doctors or specialists) are trained to identify symptoms and order diagnostic testing for the detection of certain infections in patients. Because NTM is an infectious disease, I.D. specialists who are savvy in the treatment of NTM disease also have specific knowledge of what kinds of diagnostics are appropriate for pulmonary NTM infection, and what medications would be most effective against them.
