Adult-onset immunodeficiency caused by neutralizing anti-interferon-γ autoantibodies, in addition to HIV infection, can lead to disseminated nontuberculous ...

Abdominal pain was seen more frequently in the group of patients infected with M. genavense than in patients infected with MAC (P = 0. 003...
