Isolation of nonpulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria by body site, Ontario, Canada, 1998–2010. There was no significant temporal change by anatomic site except for a decrease in skin/soft tissue infections (modeled annual change −0.011 [95% CI −0.020 to −0.003]/100,000 population; p = 0.001). Mycobacterium marinum significantly decreased over time (modeled annual change −0.003 [95% CI −0.007 to 0.001]/100,000 population; p = 0.0480); isolation of other species from nonpulmonary sites was unchan

Overall nonpulmonary isolation modeled annual change was −0.004 (95% CI −0.019 to 0.010)/100,000 population (p = 0.410).
