Ganglionar Mycobacteriosis associated to Mycobacterium colombiense in a Seropositive HIV Patient

Abstract

Martínez Rosado Larry, Montoya Roldán Daniel and Osorio Negrete Santiago

Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is a heterogeneous group of species found in several environmental sources and that exhibit variable degrees of pathogenicity. Among the MAC members, M. colombiense has been related to pulmonary disease and disseminated infection in HIV-infected patients in Colombia. This entity, without adequate treatment; evolves to fatal outcomes. Macrolides should not be used as monotherapy because resistance occurs rapidly. There is currently no consensus concerning the optimal duration of therapy, but several authors recommend approximately 6 months of therapy. Have been reported successful treatment with chemotherapy alone or combined with surgery.
