[Plurifocal alveolar pneumonia in a patient with AIDS: disseminated Mycobacterium avium intracellulare infection with difficult diagnosis].
In patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), manifestations of generalized Mycobacterium avium intracellulare infection are non-specific and pneumopathy is rarely encountered. We report a case of a patient with AIDS who had clinical and radiological manifestations of multifocal alveolar pneumopathy which was found on autopsy to be due to disseminated Mycobacterium avium intracellulare.
