Mediastinal Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Infection in Children: A Multidisciplinary Approach.

Mediastinal infections due to nontuberculous mycobacteria remain an exceedingly rare entity. Most cases in the published literature do not include pediatric patients. Due to their clinical infrequency, poor response to antimicrobial therapy and often precarious anatomical location, the optimal management of these lesions can be challenging.
