ABSTRACT
Since the first AIDS case was reported in 1985, the number of patients with AIDS and infectious complications has been increasing in Korea. Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection is a common opportunistic infection in patients with AIDS, especially those with lower CD4+T cell counts. Although MAC is a common systemic bacterialinfection in developed countries, few cases have been reported among AIDS patients in Korea. MAC infection is rare in an immunocompetent person, but is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with AIDS. MAC infection is typically associated with the degree of immunosuppression, duration of HIV infection, and low CD4+T cell counts. Here we report a case of disseminated MAC infection in an AIDS patient with fever, mesenteric lymph node enlargement, and pancytopenia.
