Disseminated Infection With <i>Mycobacterium genavense</i> in the Setting of HIV Infection Misdiagnosed as Sarcoidosis. [PDF]
Mycobacterium genavense was first identified in a patient with HIV. Here, we describe a 40‐year‐old man with prolonged fever and mediastinal and abdominal lymphadenopathy, who was initially misdiagnosed with sarcoidosis. A molecular study was conducted after mycobacterium was isolated from a lymph node biopsy, leading to the identification of M ...
