Abstract
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 NCT01331811.
