Disseminated nontuberculous infections with Mycobacterium genavense during sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis is a chronic disease characterised by the development and accumulation of granulomas in multiple organs. We report two observations of disseminated Mycobacterium genavense infection in patients with proven sarcoidosis. High fever and abdominal pain appeared at 8 and 18 months following the initiation of immunosuppressive therapy. Abdominal computed tomography scans of the pat...
متن کاملEarly Diagnosis of Disseminated Mycobacterium genavense Infection
To the Editor: Nontuberculous mycobacteria are environmental organisms that cause life-threatening diseases, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. They are increasingly recognized for causing problems in the management of solid-organ transplant recipients, due to improved diagnostic methods as well as increasing numbers and life expectancy of these patients (1). The slow-growing Mycobacteriu...
متن کاملDisseminated Mycobacterium genavense Infection in Patient with Adult-Onset Immunodeficiency
We report a case of disseminated Mycobacterium genavense infection resulting from neutralizing anti-interferon-γ autoantibodies in the patient. We identified M. genavense targeting the hsp65 gene in an aspiration specimen of the lymph node. Adult-onset immunodeficiency caused by neutralizing anti-interferon-γ autoantibodies, in addition to HIV infection, can lead to disseminated nontuberculous ...
متن کاملNontuberculous Mycobacterium Infections in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a large, diverse group of ubiquitous environmental organisms found in tap water, soil, dust, plants, animals, and food. NTM infection can cause various diseases, such as pulmonary disease (PD), which are most frequently observed in immunocompromised individuals. Diseases associated with NTM are particularly severe in those receiving tumor necrosis factor (T...
متن کاملMycobacterium genavense invading the bone marrow in a HIV‐positive patient
Nontuberculous mycobacteria infrequently cause disseminated infections in immunocompetent hosts. However, they are increasingly being recognized in immunocompromised patients. We present the case of a 40-year-old HIV-positive male presenting with lymphadenopathies and pancytopenia in whom disseminated infection, with bone marrow involvement by Mycobacterium genavense (M. genavense) was diagnosed.
