A case of abscess resulting from Mycobacterium kansasii, in the left thigh of a 53-year-old woman infected with the Human Immunodeficiency virus, is reported. Curiously, there was no pulmonary or systemic involvement as is usual with these Mycobacterium infections. The patient had CD4 T lymphocyte count of 257 cells/µL and a viral load of 60,154 copies. Despite presenting a relatively preserved immunity, the patient also presented Criptococcic meningoencephalitis and Esophageal candidiasis. The patient responded satisfactorily to treatment for infections and after 51 days was discharged.
报告了一例53岁感染人类免疫缺陷病毒的女性左大腿堪萨斯分枝杆菌脓肿病例。奇怪的是，与这些分枝杆菌感染通常情况不同，该病例没有肺部或全身受累。患者的CD4 T淋巴细胞计数为257个细胞/微升，病毒载量为60154拷贝。尽管患者的免疫力相对保留，但还患有隐球菌性脑膜脑炎和食管念珠菌病。患者对感染治疗反应良好，51天后出院。
