Abstract

Three children with human immunodeficiency virus infection and invasive infection with Mycobacterium genavense are reported. Fever spikes, abdominal cramps and distension, diarrhea or ileus, and anemia were the predominant symptoms in the severely immunodeficient patients (CD4 lymphocytes < 0.04 x 10(9)/l). Numerous acid-fast bacilli were readily detectable by microscopy in stool samples and in lymph node biopsies, but cultures for mycobacteria remained negative. Mycobacterium genavense should be sought when invasive non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis is suspected and mycobacterial cultures from blood or other sites show limited growth. Multiple-drug regimens including amikacin, ethambutol, rifampin, and clarithromycin may be of benefit in controlling the infection, as observed in two patients.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases (ASM)

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.
