Geographic distribution and duration from primary disease diagnosis to non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection in Japanese pediatric hematology/oncology patients. (A) Blue dots represent the locations of the 22 facilities where patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections were identified. Black circles indicate the three Japanese megalopolis areas (Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka/Kyoto). (B) Box plots depict the time from hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to the onset of NTM infection in transplant cases. (C) Box plots depict the time from primary disease diagnosis to NTM onset in non-transplant cases. HSCT: hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; NOS: not otherwise specified; RGM: rapid-growing mycobacteria; SGM: slow-growing mycobacteria.
