ABSTRACT
Background:
In recent decades, there has been a substantial surge in the incidence of non-tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) infections. However, the diagnosis and management of NTM globally present significant challenges, particularly in cases involving Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC) infection where effective therapeutic options are limited. Case Presentation We reported a 38-year-old female patient who was infected with MABC of skin due to "beauty needle" at a beauty salon, with mass on both cheeks, accompanied by redness, and pain, and some of them was ulcered and effused. Puncture pumping pus from bilateral cheek mass for many times, rinsed with "metronidazole", and oral "cephalosporin" treatment did not work. Therefore, she came to our hospital. MABC was detected in abscess paracentesis pus by nucleic acid mass spectrometry, and was proved by the cultured result of the pus. Thus, the patient was diagnosed as skin MABC infection, and anti-NTM treatment was taken. However, adverse reactions such as tinnitus, hepatotoxicity and neurovirulence occurred during the initial treatment. After adjusting to the contezolid-containing regimen, these adverse reactions improved. After nearly 6 months of treatment, the cheek mass was gradually reduced and the skin ruptures were gradually healed. Follow-up for 10 months showed that the patient's facial symptoms were significantly improved, and no drug-related adverse reactions happened.Conclusion:
This was the first successful case of multiple drug resistance MABC infection of skin treated with contezolid-containing antibiotic management strategies, which exhibited remarkable efficacy and good safety in this intractable disease.
