Abstract

The absence of disease due to Mycobacterium avium in Ugandan patients with AIDS, which we previously observed in a blood culture study, has been confirmed and our observations have been extended to 165 additional clinical isolates. Fourteen soil and water samples from the Ugandan environment have been cultured and revealed a high frequency of isolation of M. avium. The absence of M. avium complex disease in Uganda remains unexplained.
