ABSTRACT
Mycobacterium sherrisii is a recently described mycobacterium closely related to Mycobacterium simiae. There have been only a few reports of this organism causing disease, predominantly in the setting of HIV with severe immunosuppression. We report the first case of disseminated M. sherrisii associated with immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome.
