We present a case of MAC pyomyositis and bacteremia in a 59-year-old man with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in remission after an allogenic stem cell transplant. His posttransplant course was complicated by graft-versus-host disease, requiring treatment with oral steroids and ruxolitinib. In this report, we review the literature on disseminated MAC infection in patients with and without HIV. We also propose a potential mechanism by which this patient may have developed disseminated disease. Disseminated MAC myositis is uncommon in persons without HIV and requires a high index of suspicion for timely diagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ofid\/ofac385","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,29]],"date-time":"2022-07-29T16:29:20Z","timestamp":1659112160000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Disseminated <i>Mycobacterium avium<\/i> Complex Myositis in a Patient With Graft-Versus-Host Disease"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Kathryn Grace","family":"Kompa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Tufts University School of Medicine , Boston, Massachusetts , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caitlin A","family":"Trottier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Geographic Medicine and Infectious Diseases, Tufts Medical Center , Boston, Massachusetts , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charles L","family":"Hyman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bassett Medical Center , Cooperstown, New York , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rakhi","family":"Kohli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Geographic Medicine and Infectious Diseases, Tufts Medical Center , Boston, Massachusetts , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022081817374713000_ofac385-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"36","DOI":"10.1097\/00005792-198501000-00003","article-title":"Disseminated infection with Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare.
