Monocyte distribution width as an adjunctive biomarker for differentiating pulmonary tuberculosis from cavitary nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease

Abstract Background Rapid discrimination between pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) remains clinically challenging, particularly in cavitary disease where radiological findings may overlap. Monocyte distribution width (MDW), automatically reporte...
