Disseminated Mycolicibacter arupensis and Mycobacterium avium co-infection in a patient with anti-interferon-γ neutralizing autoantibody-associated immunodeficiency syndrome

A Patient With Mycobacteremia Due to Two Different Nontuberculous Mycobacteria

Disseminated nontuberculous mycobacterial infections are most common in patients with severe immunosuppression, such as people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and low CD4⁺ T-cell counts. In this report, we present a rare case of a person with HIV who was hospitalized for mycobacteremia due to 2 different nontuberculous mycobacteria. We also provide a comprehensive summary of published case reports describing nontuberculous mycobacterial coinfections.
