“…Vertebral osteomyelitis (VO) caused by NTM is a very rare disease. A MedLine review of the literature between 1965 and December 2003 revealed only 31 case reports and one nosocomial outbreak [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The NTM species identified most frequently was M. avium complex (n = 13); this was followed by Mycobacterium xenopi (n = 7), Mycobacterium fortuitum (n = 5), and Mycobacterium abscessus (n = 3); there were also single cases involving Mycobacterium kansasii, Mycobacterium simiae and one unidentified non-tuberculous mycobacterium.…”

Vertebral osteomyelitis caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria is a rare disease, with only 31 cases and one nosocomial outbreak reported in the literature (MedLine review between 1965 and December 2003). The clinical features are often indistinguishable from those of pyogenic osteomyelitis. Early diagnosis of such infections is a major challenge because of the slow growth of these microorganisms. No consensus guidelines for the treatment of these infections exist. Prolonged anti-mycobacterial therapy in combination with surgical debridement is recommended.

In persons with advanced immunosuppression, Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) typically causes disseminated disease with systemic symptoms. We report 2 cases in which MAC caused localized osteomyelitis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals on antiretroviral therapy with rising CD4 counts. We summarize 17 additional cases of HIV-associated MAC osteomyelitis from the literature and compare CD4 count at presentation for vertebral cases versus nonvertebral cases, which reveals a significantly higher CD4 at presentation for vertebral cases (median 251 cells/µL vs 50 cells/µL; P = .043; Mann–Whitney U test). The literature review demonstrates that the majority of cases of MAC osteomyelitis, especially vertebral, occurs in individuals with CD4 counts that have increased to above 100 cells/µL on antiretroviral therapy. Among HIV-infected individuals with osteomyelitis, MAC should be considered a possible etiology, particularly in the setting of immune reconstitution.
