Emerg Infect Dis. 2006 Apr;12(4):689-91. doi: 10.3201/eid1204.050455.

Abstract

We describe a severely immunosuppressed HIV-1-positive man in whom immune restoration disease associated with pulmonary infection caused by Mycobacterium microti developed after antiretroviral treatment. The diagnosis was made by using convenient spoligotyping techniques, but invasive investigations were required to exclude a tumor.
