Pulmonary mycobacteriosis in a female patient with non-compromised immunity

Abstract

The article describes a clinical case of infiltrative mycobacteriosis of S1,2,5 and S6 of the right lung with destruction and dissemination caused by M. avium in a 30-year-old female patient with non-compromised immunity (normal CD4 count).This suggests that mycobacteriosis cannot be regarded as sufficient evidence of deep immunodeficiency.M. avium isolated in this clinical case was resistant to clarithromycin and azithromycin which are recommended for preventive treatment of mycobacteriosis in HIV positive patients.
