The relationship betweenMycobacterium aviumcomplex (MAC) infection of blood and bone marrow was studied in human immunodeficiency virus—infected patients before and during treatment. Quantitative cultures were obtained at baseline from 17 persons with newly detected MAC bacteremia. Serial blood cultures were obtained, and a second bone marrow sample was obtained at 4 or 8 weeks. At baseline, the median MAC load in bone marrow core samples was 3 log10higher than in blood. Bone marrow MAC loads ranged widely (866–847,315 cfu/g), and no significant correlation was found between MAC load in blood and that in bone marrow core samples. MAC loads in bilateral bone marrow biopsy samples from 7 subjects were highly correlated. MAC loads declined in blood and bone marrow at similar rates during therapy, but blood was sterilized before bone marrow. Length of survival was inversely associated with initial bone marrow core MAC load but not with blood MAC load. Initiation of treatment when tissue MAC load is low may increase the likelihood of favorable clinical outcome.
