title: Nontuberculous mycobacteria in the HIV infected patient.
abstract: The reduction in disseminated NTM infections caused by HAART is one of the success stories in the history of HIV in the developed world. Despite this success, these diseases still occur and may have atypical presentations in patients receiving HAART. Clinicians treating HIV-infected patients must remain familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases and implement prevention strategies when indicated.
