Zusammenfassung: | Individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) risk developing opportunistic infections including Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (Mtbc) and organisms belonging to the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). MRI brain 10 days later demonstrated a reduction in mass size to 6 mm. Given atypical neuroimaging findings and negative serology, he was not started on Toxoplasmosis treatment. Direct PCR of biopsy material at 3 weeks post-craniotomy resulted in a 16S rRNA gene product (567 bp) with 99% match and hsp65 product (387 bp) with 100% match to M. genavense type strain 2289. |
