  • 摘要:

    Mycobacterial skin infections are known to evolve into draining subcutaneous abscess and are
    often associated with M. fortuitum and M. chelonae. We report a case of subcutaneous abscess
    in a 36 year old woman due to M. fortuitum with the underlying risk factor of Systemic Lupus
    Erythematosus (SLE) with Lupus Nephritis. The aspirated pus showed growth of M. fortuitum
    when inoculated on Lowenstein Jensen (L-J) media. The organism was susceptible to Coamoxiclav,
    Sparfloxacin and Pyrazinamide and resistant to other first line and second line
    drugs. The patient was treated with injection Co-amoxiclav for 14 days. She responded to
    treatment emphasizing the importance of isolation and drug susceptibility testing of rapid
    growers isolated from pus specimen.
