Incidence of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare Complex Bacteremia in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Positive Patients
Abstract
The product-limit incidence of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) bacteremia in 1006 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients followed at one institution over a 3-year period from the day of AIDS diagnosis with monthly lysis-centrifugation blood cultures was 21% +/- 2% SE at 1 year and 43% +/- 3% at 2 years. The product-limit incidence of MAC bacteremia at 1 year after the patients' first CD4 cell count was related to both the CD4 cell count and to whether they had an AIDS diagnosis (both P less than .0001) but not to age, sex, or race. This incidence was 39% +/- 6% for CD4 cell counts of less than 10/mm3, 30% +/- 5% for 10-19/mm3, 20% +/- 4% for 20-39/mm3, 15% +/- 4% for 40-59/mm3, 8% +/- 3% for 60-99/mm3, and 3% +/- 1% for 100-199/mm3. MAC may eventually infect most if not all HIV-positive patients who do not die from another HIV-related event.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
