## Abstract
The study underscores the challenges in differentiating between MTBC and NTM, highlighting the necessity for molecular diagnostic approaches. Notably, we found NTM in sputum samples from patients previously treated for TB. These findings can serve as a reference for improving diagnostic accuracy and preventing misdiagnosis of mycobacterial infections.
