Abstract

We determined disseminated nontuberculous mycobacteria incidence in the HIV-infected population of Oregon, USA, during 2007-2012 by using statewide laboratory surveillance. We identified 37 disseminated nontuberculous mycobacteria cases among 7,349 patients with median annual incidence of 110/100,000 HIV person-years and the highest incidence in those with CD4 counts <50 cells/mm3 (5,300/100,000 person-years).

Keywords: HIV/AIDS and other retroviruses; Oregon; United States; bacteria; disseminated nontuberculous mycobacteria; mycobacterium avium; tuberculosis and other mycobacteria.
