Treatment of relapsing Mycobacterium avium infection with interferon-gamma and interleukin-2 in an HIV-negative patient with low CD4 syndrome
چکیده انگلیسی
A patient with idiopathic CD4 T-lymphopenia was diagnosed with a recurrent disseminated Mycobacterium avium infection. Because of progressive disease, treatment with interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) was started. The patient was successfully treated with IFN-γ-1b and IL-2 in addition to anti-mycobacterial combination therapy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of successful combination therapy with IFN-γ-1b and IL-2 in a patient with idiopathic CD4 T-lymphopenia. Short-term IFN-γ-1b and IL-2 might be considered as therapeutic options in refractory mycobacterial infections in patients with idiopathic CD4 lymphopenia.
