 AB    Mycobacterium genavense is a rare cause of opportunistic infection in
       immunocompromised hosts. Follow up of two cases of M. genavense invasive
       infection in children with haemophilia A and AIDS are presented. One
       patient died 18 months after diagnosis of M. genavense infection of an
       indirectly related cause, probably of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.
       The second patient still attends our outpatient clinic and the infection
       is under control. Both presented with abdominal lymphomas and pain and a
       wasting syndrome. A combination of several drugs against atypical
       mycobacteria is used for treatment.
