Localized cutaneous infection caused by Mycobacterium avium complex in an AIDS patient
TLDR
A case of localized cutaneous infection due to MAC in an AIDS patient is reported and is described as a rare finding among patients with the disease.Abstract:
Although infection due to Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) has long been recognized, it was not until the current AIDS epidemic that isolation of these mycobacteria became common in microbiology laboratories. The disseminated form of the disease is the commonest type. Localized disease as the first manifestation of MAC infection is a rare finding among these patients. Herein we report a case of localized cutaneous infection due to MAC in an AIDS patient.read more

Mycobacteria other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis are not present in erythema induratum/nodular vasculitis: a case series and literature review of the clinical and histologic findings.
TL;DR: In EI/NV, performance of PCR for MOTT as well as M. tuberculosis complex may still be beneficial, particularly in cases from immunocompromised hosts, indicating the reliability of the assays.

TL;DR: In the compromised host, infection can be more aggressive and widespread locally, be caused by opportunistic pathogens, and be disseminated hematogenously from or to the skin.

Mycobacterium avium complex infection in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
TL;DR: Before the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic, disseminated infection with M. avium complex was extremely rare; by 1980, only 24 cases had been reported in the medical literature; beginning in 1982, however, the number of cases increased dramatically.
