“…Adiponectin, an immunosuppressive adipokine, is inappropriately secreted in these patients [25][26][27]. There are several reports of NTM lung disease in patients suffering from anorexia nervosa [28,29], in whom impaired cellular immune response has been demonstrated [30]. Unexpectedly, we show that M. massiliense, unlike M. abscessus, affects young CF patients with severe malnutrition.…”

“…Furthermore, low BMI (<18.5 kg/m 2 ) is associated with a greater number of diseased lung segments and NTM-LD-specific mortality [ 69 , 72 ]. Interestingly, NTM-LD has been reported in younger women (ages 20–53 years old) diagnosed with anorexia nervosa [ 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 ]. In general, since NTM-LD is much less common in younger individuals than in the elderly, this lends credence to the possibility that a thin body habitus is a risk factor for NTM-LD.…”

“…Lung infections due to opportunistic organisms and usually nonpathogenic mycobacteria have been described in patients with AN and no history of a preexisting pulmonary disease [110][111][112]. However, gastroesophageal disease and other causes of chronic aspiration (self-induced vomiting) may predispose patients with AN to develop bronchiectasis, and thus increase their risk for non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections [113].…”
