Mycobacterium avium complex infections in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
Annals of Internal Medicine 1986 August
Disseminated infection with Mycobacterium avium complex developed in 67 patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who were followed at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Twenty-nine patients were treated with two or more antimycobacterial drugs for a mean of 6 weeks, and 7 patients received therapy for less than 1 month. Most patients received ansamycin, clofazimine, and ethionamide or ethambutol. Clinical improvement did not occur in treated patients, and microbiologic cure was never obtained. Mycobacterial bacteremia persisted in 24 of 26 treated patients. Colony counts of M. avium complex in sequential blood cultures decreased in 3 patients. Every autopsied patient with M. avium complex infection diagnosed before death, whether treated or not, had disseminated M. avium complex infection at autopsy.
