 AB    The first case of disseminated Mycobacterium bovis infection with
       meningitis in an AIDS patient is reported. A 54-year-old male
       HIV-positive patient was admitted for evaluation of fever, weight loss,
       inappetence, fatigue and malaise. Mycobacterium bovis (non-BCG) was
       isolated from blood, bone marrow, stool, urine, sputum, abdominal lymph
       nodes and cerebrospinal fluid. Antituberculous therapy using a five-drug
       regimen plus steroids resulted in complete recovery.
