  • Title: Tuberculosis-like illness in a young man from Thailand.
    Author: Zuger A.
    Journal: AIDS Clin Care; 1996 Dec; 8(12):101, 105. PubMed ID: 11363992.
    Abstract:
    A case study is presented of a mid-20's, HIV-infected male visitor from Thailand who became increasingly ill with tuberculosis-like symptoms. The question addressed is whether the patient should be treated for miliary tuberculosis or for disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection pending further evaluation. It is argued that due to the frequency with which Penicillium marneffei infection occurs in Thai AIDS patients and the similarity of the symptoms to MAC infection, such treatment is not warranted. Following isolation of P. marneffei, the patient was treated with high dose amphotericin B and responded well, defervescing within a week.
