To describe the incidence of, and risk factors for, Mycobacterium avium intracellulare complex (MAC) infection in HIV-infected children.
University-affiliated children's hospital.
The medical records of 70 HIV-infected infants and children were reviewed retrospectively.
Seven children (10% of the HIV-infected patients; 18% of those with AIDS) developed disseminated MAC (dMAC). An additional seven children had gastrointestinal colonization with MAC. Risk of dMAC was associated with increasing age, decreasing CD4 cell count, and (possibly) long-term steroid therapy.
HIV-infected children are at risk of developing dMAC. Children older than 60 months and those with a CD4 cell count < 100 x 10(6)/l are most at risk.
描述HIV感染儿童鸟分枝杆菌胞内复合物（MAC）感染的发生率及危险因素。
大学附属医院儿童医院。
回顾性分析70例HIV感染婴幼儿及儿童的病历。
7例儿童（占HIV感染患者的10%；艾滋病患者的18%）发生播散性MAC（dMAC）。另有7例儿童胃肠道有MAC定植。dMAC的风险与年龄增长、CD4细胞计数降低以及（可能）长期使用类固醇治疗有关。
HIV感染儿童有发生dMAC的风险。60个月以上儿童及CD4细胞计数<100×10⁶/L的儿童风险最高。
