Mycobacterium xenopi pulmonary infection in an HIV infected patient under highly active antiretroviral treatment

C Bachmeyer et al. Thorax. 2001 Dec.

Abstract

Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is responsible for a striking reduction in AIDS related morbidity and mortality by partly restoring immune function. However, HAART can also precipitate the development of clinically apparent opportunistic infections in patients with latent infections. We report a case of an HIV infected patient who developed granulomatous nodular and cavitatory lesions of the lungs due to Mycobacterium xenopi as a manifestation of the immune restoration syndrome.
