Abstract

Mycobacterium avium complex infection is a common complication of the later stages of AIDS. Although a recognized cause of oral lesions, atypical mycobacteria are rarely detected in AIDS-related oral ulceration. Here we report a case of oral ulceration in a patient in the later stages of AIDS in which atypical mycobacteria were detected both histologically and microbiologically. The features of this case are similar to the one other case previously reported permitting some characterization and comparison of the clinical features of mycobacterium avium complex infection in AIDS.
