Abstract
The first case of disseminated Mycobacterium bovis infection with meningitis in an AIDS patient is reported. A 54-year-old male HIV-positive patient was admitted for evaluation of fever, weight loss, inappetence, fatigue and malaise. Mycobacterium bovis (non-BCG) was isolated from blood, bone marrow, stool, urine, sputum, abdominal lymph nodes and cerebrospinal fluid. Antituberculous therapy using a five-drug regimen plus steroids resulted in complete recovery.Entities:
