complejo Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare
Scope note: Complejo que incluye varias cepas de M. avium. El M. intracellulare no se distingue fácilmente del M. avium y por tanto se incluye en el complejo. Estos organismos se hallan más frecuentemente en secreciones pulmonares de personas con micobacteriosis semejante a la tuberculosis. Algunas cepas de este complejo también se han asociado con la linfadenitis infantil y el SIDA. El M. avium aisladamente produce tuberculosis en una variedad de aves y de otros animales, incluidos los cerdos.

Scope note: A complex that includes several strains of M. avium. M. intracellulare is not easily distinguished from M. avium and therefore is included in the complex. These organisms are most frequently found in pulmonary secretions from persons with a tuberculous-like mycobacteriosis. Strains of this complex have also been associated with childhood lymphadenitis and AIDS; M. avium alone causes tuberculosis in a variety of birds and other animals, including pigs.
