AB Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is frequently isolated from patients
with late complications of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS),
especially in North America and Europe. However, its isolation from the
central nervous system (CNS) has been seldom reported in these
countries. MAC infections in AIDS patients in African and Latin American
countries are believed to be uncommon. We report the isolation of MAC
from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 11 AIDS patients out of 1723 (0.63%)
seen at Centro de Referencia e Treinamento-AIDS, Sao Paulo and discuss
the significance of its isolation.
