AB  - Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection in HIV (human immunodeficiency 
      virus)-infected patients who have started highly active antiretroviral therapy 
      (HAART) is well known to be one scenario of immune reconstitution inflammatory 
      syndrome (IRIS). We encountered the first case in Japan of an HIV-infected 
      patient with pulmonary Mycobacterium parascrofulaceum infection as IRIS. A 34 
      year-old man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) was receiving highly 
      active antiretroviral therapy. Lymphadenopathy was observed at the left pulmonary 
      hilum. IRIS was suspected and thoracoscopic surgery was performed to diagnose the 
      cause of lymphadenopathy. Granulomas were observed histologically, and M. 
      parascrofulaceum was cultured. This organism was susceptible to Clarithromycin, 
      rifampicin and levofloxacin. After the operation and without treatment, 
      recurrence of M. parascrofulaceum infection was not observed. M. parascrofulaceum 
      was isolated from several clinical specimens for the first time in 2004. To date, 
      only five cases have been reported.
