UNUSUAL PRESENTATION OF MYCOBACTERIUM AVIUM COMPLEX RELATED IMMUNE RECONSTITUTION INFLAMMATORY SYNDROME.

B INTRODUCTION: b Mycobacterium Avium Complex (MAC) infection usually presents as a fibrocavitory or an endobronchial lesion; MAC infection related Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) commonly manifests as localized lymphadenitis or endobronchial mass lesions. None of the pulmonary nodules were accessible for interventional radiology-guided biopsy and hence cardio-thoracic surgery performed a right upper lobe wedge biopsy through right video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, mini-thoracotomy along with chest tube placement. B CONCLUSIONS: b Multiple pulmonary nodules are rarely seen in MAC/ MAC related IRIS infections. [Extracted from the article]
