Introduction
Mycobacterium Avium Complex is a free-living bacterium found in water, soil, and dust. The main route of transmission is through inhalation or ingestion and the majority of these infections involve extrapulmonary sites. Most patients present with nonspecific symptoms such as fever, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or focal lymphadenitis. Laboratory work may show anemia, elevated alkaline phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase. Diagnosis is made with cultures and radiographic imaging. Treatment includes a combination of antimicrobial therapy. This case reported herein describes an HIV/AIDS patient who was found to have isolated pulmonary disease caused by Mycobacterium Avium Complex at Richmond University Medical Center.
