Pediatric Asian African Network for Tuberculosis and HIV Research (PAANTHER) Study Group HIV children nontuberculous mycobacteria tuberculosis We enrolled 427 human immunodeficiency virus-infected children (median age, 7.3 years), 59.2% severely immunodeficient, with suspected tuberculosis in Southeast Asian and African settings. Nontuberculous mycobacteria were isolated in 46 children (10.8%); 45.7% of isolates were Mycobacterium avium complex. Southeast Asian origin, age 5-9 years, and severe immunodeficiency were independently associated with nontuberculous mycobacteria isolation. Clinical Trials Registration.
