Abstract
Adult onset immunodeficiency associated with anti-interferon-gamma autoantibodiesis an emerging medical issue worldwide especially in South-east Asia. Most patientspresent with disseminated non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection and otheropportunistic infections. In addition to standard antimicrobial therapy, immunomodulatoror immunosuppressive drug seem to play a role in some cases.
In the present study, we thoroughly reviewed the pathogenesis, clinical features,laboratory diagnosis, modalities of treatment, and clinical outcomes of this condition.
