Summary

1. To compare TLR-2 expression of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and serum downstream cytokines in those with MAC or MAB pulmonary infection and those with MAC or MAB pulmonary colonization and controls.
2. To investigate the response of TLR-2 expression and cytokines activation to NTM stimulation test in patients with MAC or MAB pulmonary infection and colonization and controls.
3. To validate the NTM stimulation test for NTM pulmonary infection.
