Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) primarily causes respiratory infection in patients with underlying lung disease or disseminated disease in immunocompromised patients. We report a unique case of MAC disease in the terminal ileum of a healthy patient, mimicking appendicitis. This case emphasizes the need to further explore MAC pathogenesis in immunocompetent hosts.
鸟分枝杆菌-胞内分枝杆菌复合体（MAC）主要在患有基础肺部疾病的患者中引起呼吸道感染，或在免疫功能低下的患者中引起播散性疾病。我们报告了一例健康患者回肠末端发生MAC疾病的独特病例，类似阑尾炎。该病例强调了进一步探索MAC在免疫功能正常宿主中发病机制的必要性。
