Abstract

Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is usually considered an opportunistic organism, which infects immunocompromised children or those with structural airway abnormalities. We present two cases of MAC infection affecting immune competent children, likely from hot tubs with primary involvement of pulmonary and urinary systems. These cases highlight the importance of asking about hot tub use in immune competent children with suspected or confirmed MAC infections.

摘要

鸟分枝杆菌复合体（MAC）通常被认为是机会生物，感染免疫功能低下的儿童或气道结构异常的儿童。我们介绍了两例MAC感染影响有免疫能力的儿童，可能来自主要受累于肺和泌尿系统的热水浴缸。这些病例突出了询问在疑似或确认MAC感染的免疫有能力的儿童中使用热水浴缸的重要性。
