  abstract = {{P}revalence of nontuberculous mycobacteria ({NTM}) disease is poorly documented in countries with high prevalence of tuberculosis ({TB}). {W}e describe prevalence, risk factors, and {TB} program implications for {NTM} isolates and disease in {C}ambodia. {A} prospective cohort of 1,183 patients with presumptive {TB} underwent epidemiologic, clinical, radiologic, and microbiologic evaluation, including >= 12-months of follow-up for patients with {NTM} isolates. {P}revalence of {NTM} isolates was 10.8% and of disease was 0.9%; 217 (18.3%) patients had {TB}. {O}f 197 smear-positive patients, 171 (86.8%) had {TB} confirmed (167 by culture and 4 by {X}pert {MTB}/{RIF} assay only) and 11 (5.6%) had {NTM} isolates. {HIV} infection and past {TB} were independently associated with having {NTM} isolates. {I}mproved detection of {NTM} isolates in {C}ambodia might require more systematic use of mycobacterial culture and the use of {X}pert {MTB}/{RIF} to confirm smear-positive {TB} cases, especially in patients with {HIV} infection or a history of {TB}.},
