Abstract:

Disseminated mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection is rare and is classically associated with immunodeficient states. Osteomyelitis is a rare manifestation of disseminated MAC infection. The overwhelming majority of MAC infections occur in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Disseminated MAC infection has been described in interferon gamma receptor deficiency, an immunodeficiency mechanistically linked to mycobacterial infection. We present a case of disseminated MAC vertebral osteomyelitis in a patient with interferon gamma receptor deficiency.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
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 III

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:
