We enrolled 427 human immunodeficiency virus-infected children (median age, 7.3 years), 59.2% severely immunodeficient, with suspected tuberculosis in Southeast Asian and African settings. Nontuberculous mycobacteria were isolated in 46 children (10.8%); 45.7% of isolates were Mycobacterium avium complex. Southeast Asian origin, age 5-9 years, and severe immunodeficiency were independently associated with nontuberculous mycobacteria isolation. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION NCT01331811.

我们招募了427名人类免疫缺陷病毒感染的儿童（中位年龄为7.3岁），其中59.2％的严重免疫缺陷儿童在东南亚和非洲地区患有结核病。在46名儿童（10.8％）中分离出了非结核分枝杆菌；分离株中有45.7％为鸟分枝杆菌复合物。东南亚血统，5-9岁的年龄和严重的免疫缺陷与非结核分枝杆菌的分离独立相关。临床试验注册NCT01331811。
