Joana Silva Marques et al. Vaccines (Basel). .

Abstract

We report a case of Mycobacterium malmoense pulmonary infection and HIV-1 chronic co-infection in a 60-year-old man while participating in an HIV-1 therapeutic vaccine clinical trial and during the analytical treatment interruption. We present clinical and therapeutic features of a complicated M. malmoense pulmonary infection along with discussion of the possible relation to the HIV-1 cure-related interventions.

Keywords: HIV; Mycobacterium malmoense; therapeutic vaccine.
