%X Infection with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is an increasingly important cause of pulmonary disease, particularly in immunocompromised patients or those suffering from chronic lung conditions. However, though rare, non-tubercular mycobacterial infection and bronchiectasis may also occur in an immunocompetent patient. This unusual condition is typically seen in middle-aged or elderly white females, with bronchiectasis having a predilection for the middle lobe and lingula. Here, we present a similar case of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection with middle lobe bronchiectasis in an elderly immunocompetent female, recognized as Lady Windermere Syndrome (LWS).
