A hidden threat: a case of relapsed disseminated Mycobacterium abscessus infection and its therapeutic challenges [PDF]

Journal of Bone and Joint Infection
Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) is a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM). We present the case of a 57-year-old female on immunosuppressive therapy for polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) who developed disseminated M.
