title: [Disseminated Mycobacterium avium infection in three patients with hematologic diseases].
abstract: We report three cases of disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex infection in immunocompromised haematological patients. We conclude that in haematological patients with longlasting fever of unknown cause Mycobacterium avium complex infection should be considered and the relevant cultures from blood and bone marrow should be done.
