  • Title: Mycobacterium avium-avium-associated typhlitis mimicking appendicitis in an immunocompetent host.
    Author: Azzam HC, Gahunia MK, Sae-Tia S, Santoro J.
    Journal: Am J Med Sci; 2009 Mar; 337(3):218-20. PubMed ID: 19204556.
    Abstract:
    Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) primarily causes respiratory infection in patients with underlying lung disease or disseminated disease in immunocompromised patients. We report a unique case of MAC disease in the terminal ileum of a healthy patient, mimicking appendicitis. This case emphasizes the need to further explore MAC pathogenesis in immunocompetent hosts.
