Port-site Infections by Nontuberculous Mycobacterium: A Retrospective Clinico-Microbiological Study

The International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2017
Background: Port-site infection (PSI) is a prevailing, chronic, nagging, treatment refractory complication of laparoscopic surgery (LS). It neutralizes the advantages of minimally invasive surgery and increases morbidity, treatment cost of patient, leading to loss of confidence on operating surgeon.

A Systematic Review of Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Infection Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

JBJS Open Access, 2023
Background: Although infection following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is rare, these cases have potentially catastrophic ramifications. Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous, located in the water supply and soil. Our objective was to review the literature to characterize NTM infection following ACL

Disseminated mycobacterial infections after tumor necrosis factor inhibitor use, revealing inborn errors of immunity

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
Tumor necrosis factor-a inhibitors can be associated with increased risk of infections, particularly reactivation of latent tuberculosis or nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM). However, because disseminated NTM is rare, inborn errors of immunity should be
