Infections of the pleura with nontuberculous mycobacteria are an infrequent manifestation of pleural infections. There are few cases described in the literature of these infections, and there are no guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. A recently published multicenter retrospective study and a systematic review showed patients' poor prognosis and a significant rate of complications. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is advised in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients.
