Abstract
Two human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients with refractory disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex infection were treated with recombinant interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) given subcutaneously for 3 and 4 months, respectively. Although both patients demonstrated some clinical improvement initially, IFN-gamma therapy did not produce sustained benefit.
