SRISANTITHUM B, PONDCHAROEN P. OPPORTUNISTIC SKIN INFECTION IN ADULT-ONSET IMMUNODEFICIENCY DUE TO ANTI-INTERFERON-GAMMA AUTOANTIBODY: A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW. THAI J DERMATOL 2020; 36: 83-89.

An acquired anti-interferon-gamma autoantibody syndrome is well-recognized entity presented in non-HIV and previously healthy patients with susceptibly to severe and recalcitrant intracellular opportunistic infections. We describe a case of HIV-negative, interferon-gamma-autoantibody –positive, Thai male who presented with severe and recalcitrant disseminated Mycobacterium abscessus infection with history of tuberous lymphadenitis, genital herpes simplex and Salmonella group B infection
Keywords: anti-interferon-gamma autoantibody, mycobacterium infection, opportunistic infections
