Abstract

Disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infections are commonly reported in patients infected with the humanimmunodeficiency virus (HIV), although MAC infections are also reported in such immune-compromised patients as renal transplantrecipients. In this group of patients, the clinical course is generally atypical, and treatment strategies can differ. Herein we presentthe case of a disseminated infection caused by MAC in a kidney transplant recipient who presented with abdominal pain, fever andgeneralized intra-abdominal lymphadenopathy.
