    Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is increasingly seen as a major health threat globally.
    However, it is still underdiagnosed mainly among Asian population partly due to lack of
    understanding on the pathophysiology, and limited access to the diagnostic and management
    aspect of the disease. Recurring complete and/or partial collapses of the upper airways define
    OSA. Based on the number of apnoeas and/or hypopnoeas per hour of sleep, OSA is
    categorized as mild, moderate and severe. Both the American Association of Sleep Medicine
    (AASM) and American College of Physicians (ACP) has published guidelines regarding the
    management of OSA in adults. Three recommendations have been suggested by the
    guidelines which can be used to tailor the management of OSA. The aim of this article is to
    select relevant recommendations from these guidelines in epidemiology, pathophysiology,
    diagnostic procedures and treatment for proper management of OSA, while considering
    specific patient populations, such as hypertensive, diabetic, obese and Asian patients.

    Mycobacterium genavense, a non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM), usually affects patients severely immunodeficient from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or any other immunocompromised states. We reported a case in a 70-year-old female with well-controlled diabetes and history of proximal cystic bronchiectasis. She presented with 2 months history of cough, haemoptysis, and night sweats of which serial sputa were positive for acid-fast bacilli and the culture repeatedly grew M. genavense. Treatment with rifampicin, ofloxacin, and clarithromycin was complicated with drug-induced liver injury and intractable gastrointestinal side effects. We also presented a brief review of relevant literature.
