<i>Mycobacterium avium</i> complex (MAC) infection in severely immunocompromised people living with HIV: Findings from a five-year cohort
Until 2018, U.S. American guidelines recommended antimycobacterial prophylaxis for patients with low CD4 cell counts, a practice not adopted in Europe. Untreated dMAC infection is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. dMAC infection represents a prevalent disease in severely immunosuppressed people living with HIV. dMAC requires a high index of suspicion in this population, in order to perform mycobacterial cultures from different samples.
