  • Title: Disseminated Mycobacterium abscessus infection in a patient on haemodialysis.
    Author: Fernandes A, Chitralli DK, Srividya S, Sreekumar G.
    Journal: Natl Med J India; 2023; 36(2):93-94. PubMed ID: 38692597.
    Abstract:
    We report a 46-year-old woman with disseminated Mycobacterium abscessus infection who was on maintenance haemodialysis for chronic glomerulonephritis. Prolonged blood cultures yielded growth of a rapid-growing nontubercular Mycobacterium. Diagnosis to a species level guided empirical therapy while we awaited antimicrobial susceptibility results. The patient was treated successfully with a multidrug regimen.
