Disseminated disease is associated with a high mortality rate. Except for localized cervical adenitis, MAI disease is rare in immunocompetent children.

A lymph node biopsy showed acid-fast bacilli and granulomas. Despite a transient response to conventional antituberculous therapy, including isoniazid and rifampin, his symptoms progressed. Cultures from blood, bone marrow, spleen, and cervical lymph node tissues revealed an MAI organism. Subsequent treatment using a combination of clarithromycin, amikacin, and ethambutol for 16 months resolved clinical symptoms, and subsequent blood culture results became negative.
