ABSTRACT
A 46-year-old immunosuppressed patient presented with a breast implant-associated infection 10 years after breast augmentation in Southeast Asia. No pathogen was identified in the initial conventional microbiological workup. Subsequently, infection with Mycobacterium abscessus-a nontuberculous mycobacteria-was diagnosed using a special culture technique. Increased rates of such infections are reported after cosmetic surgery in foreign countries, presumably due to inoculation with these ubiquitous pathogens. This case highlights the fact that the differential diagnosis and thus the microbiological workup should be extended in cases without initial pathogen detection.
