Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Abstract Mycobacterium  genavense is a challenging opportunistic pathogen to diagnose and manage in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Persistent immunosuppression or protracted immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome can lead to complicated clinical courses. We describe 3 cases of M. genavense in patients with HIV representing the spectrum between disease burden and strength of immune response.
