Abstract
Mycobacteria are a frequent cause of infection in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the most common mycobacterial pathogen, is seen at all levels of immunosuppression, but usually does not involve the gastrointestinal tract.1 The most common mycobacteria involving the gastrointestinal tract is Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC).1 The clinical syndrome of disseminated MAC infection is characterized by anorexia, weight loss, diarrhea, lymphadenopathy and, frequently, liver function abnormalities.
