Abstract

Champa Ratnatunga studied the immune system of patients who developed non tuberculous mycobacterial infections. She found that each risk group and each infecting species had specific immune problems associated with infection. The pattern of this immune dysfunction helps to understand the disease and is being used to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
