DisseminatedMycobacterium avium-intracellulareinfections were found at autopsy in two homosexual men in whom acquired cell-mediated immunodeficiencies and marked decreases in the subpopulation of lymphocytes expressing the T-helper phenotype were well-studied. The histologic manifestations were similar to those found in lepromatous leprosy, also known to be associated with cell-mediated immunodeficiency. Possible correlations between the cellular immunodeficiency in our patients and an increased susceptibility toMycobacterium avium-intracellulareinfection as well as the unusual histologic manifestation of the mycobacterial infection are examined.
