Endobronchial Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infection in a patient with AIDS.
The pulmonary manifestations of AIDS are well described in the medical literature; however, MAI infection presenting as an endobronchial lesion has not, to our knowledge, been reported in a patient with AIDS. We report a unique case of an AIDS patient who developed endobronchial polypoid lesions secondary to MAI infection. Complications resulting from these lesions included hemoptysis and later bronchiectasis.
