Quadrupledrug therapy for Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare bacteremia in AIDS patients [PDF]
The mycobacterial response was evaluated for patients with Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) bacteremia treated with a quadruple regimen of rifabutin, clofazimine, isonia-zid, and ethambutol. Mycobacteremia was cleared in 22 of 25 patients

Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infection during HIV disease. Persisting problems
Still in the era of combined antiretroviral therapy, late recognition of HIV disease or lack of sufficient immune recovery pose HIV-infected patients at risk to develop opportunistic infections by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), which are ...

B Cells Regulate Neutrophilia during Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection and BCG Vaccination by Modulating the Interleukin-17 Response [PDF]
We have previously demonstrated that B cells can shape the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including the level of neutrophil infiltration and granulomatous inflammation at the site of infection. The present study examined the mechanisms by
