Rationale:
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection is common in lung, liver and skin. However, MAC presenting with peritonitis is uncommon and is particularly rare in immunocompetent patients. We report a case of infection-associated glomerulonephritis and mantle cell lymphoma caused by peritonitis due to MAC.
Patient Concerns:
We report a case of a 73-year-old elderly man with fever and abdominal pain for 2 days and gradually developed anuria, ascites, and abdominal lymphadenopathy.
Diagnoses:
The initial diagnosis was peritonitis and acute renal failure. There was no significant relief of symptoms after empirical anti-infective therapy and hemodialysis. infection-associated glomerulonephritis, mantle cell lymphoma, and peritonitis due to MAC were diagnosed by renal biopsy, abdominal lymph node biopsy, and metagenomics next-generation sequencing.
Interventions:
The patient received empirical antibiotic therapy, hemodialysis, and anti-MAC therapy.
Outcomes:
Unfortunately, the patient eventually died of septic shock after the 21st day of admissiom.
Lessons:
Early diagnosis of MAC infection is essential. When the cause of fever is unknown, metagenomics next-generation sequencing can be considered.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:
Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...
