Sarcoid-like lesions obfuscating the diagnosis of disseminated Mycobacterium genavense infection in a patient with IL-12Rβ1-associated immunodeficiency [PDF]
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022 Background Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease that is characterized by non-caseating epithelioid-cell granulomas upon histology. However, similar histological findings may also be seen with certain infections.

Persistent Ascites Revealing Mendelian Susceptibility to Mycobacterial Disease Due to IL-12Rβ1 Deficiency: A Case Report and Review of the Literature. [PDF]
Case Reports ImmunolBackground Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) is a subset of inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) predisposing to clinical infections from less virulent mycobacterial species. Variants in 22 genes, particularly in IL‐12Rβ1, have been identified that impair interferon‐gamma (IFN‐γ)‐mediated immunity.

Mycobacterium genavense Infections in a Tertiary Hospital and Reviewed Cases in Non-HIV Patients. [PDF]
Patholog Res Int, 2014 Mycobacterium genavense is a relatively new species of nontuberculous mycobacterium reported to cause disseminated infections in patients with AIDS and later on in non‐HIV immunosuppressed patients. We describe clinical and laboratory features and response to therapy in 7 patients, three of them with HIV infection and four non‐HIV—three organ ...
