TI  - Infrapatellar bursitis with Mycobacterium malmoense related to immune 
      reconstitution inflammatory syndrome in an HIV-positive patient.

AB  - The immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) after starting 
      antiretroviral treatment for HIV infection can be caused by a great variety of 
      pathogens. Among these are non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), with Mycobacterium 
      avium complex being the most commonly described finding. Antimycobacterial 
      treatment of NTM in cases of IRIS is controversial. We report the case of a 
      39-year-old man diagnosed with HIV-1 infection during admission to hospital with 
      Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) and a CD4 cell count of 60/mul. The patient 
      started antiretroviral treatment and made an uneventful recovery from the PCP 
      diagnosis, but was readmitted after 2.5 months with a purulent infrapatellar 
      bursitis on the left knee. A surgical procedure was performed and Mycobacterium 
      malmoense was grown from the pus from the bursa. The patient recovered without 
      supplemental antimycobacterial treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first 
      report on IRIS caused by M malmoense.
