Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Immune Reconstitution Syndrome in HIV-Infected Patients: Spectrum of Disease and Long-Term Follow-Up

Abstract

Nontuberculous mycobacterial immune reconstitution syndrome has a wide range of clinical presentations and severity. The long-term prognosis is favorable for HAART-adherent patients. Intra-abdominal disease is associated with greater morbidity than is peripheral lymphadenitis. The role of antimycobacterial therapy is uncertain, given the self-limited course of most nonabdominal cases.
