Brief report: disseminated mycobacteriosis caused by drug-resistant Mycobacterium triplex in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient during highly active antiretroviral therapy

Abstract

Mycobacterium triplex is a novel species that, until now, has been isolated only from limited clinical samples, and its clinical relevance has been largely unknown. In this report, we describe the first case of disseminated disease caused by M. triplex in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient.
