Disseminated Mycobacterium avium infection in a child with decreased tumour necrosis factor production.

Abstract:

UNLABELLED:Disseminated atypical mycobacterium infection is essentially reported in cellular immunodeficient children. Cell-mediated immunity including cytokines like tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF) and gamma interferon (IFN) is the most important factor allowing control of the dissemination of Mycobacterium. We report a child with disseminated Mycobacterium avium infection without classical immunodeficiency or HIV infection. Immunological studies revealed a defect of TNF production when the monocytes of the patient were primed with endotoxin (Escherichia coli). CONCLUSION:This patient represents a further case of possible macrophage defect explaining the susceptibility to intracellular pathogens.
