  • Title: [Infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and MOTT (Mycobacteria other than tuberculosis) in HIV infected and AIDS patients].
    Author: Armbruster C.
    Journal: Wien Med Wochenschr; 1994; 144(8-9):182-6. PubMed ID: 7941606.
    Abstract:
    AIDS is characterized by a variety of opportunistic infections and malignant tumours. Tuberculosis occurs 500 times more often in HIV-infected patients than in patients with normal immunological function. In contrast to tuberculosis, which is diagnosed before the 1st AIDS defining disease, MOTT-infections are complications of late stage HIV-disease. The occurrence of drug-resistant strains of mycobacterium tuberculosis is a problem to be solved by the public health services. In contrast in MOTT-infections therapeutic problems exist.
