Overview
The treatment of Mycobacterium abscessus skin and soft tissue infection includes draining collections of pus, surgical debridement, and administration of combination of antibiotics.[1] Surgical resection should be considered particularly in extensive disease or unefficacious antibiotic therapy. In addition, removal of foreign bodies that are likely the source of the mycobacterium, such as catheters or breast implants, is advised.[1] The treatment of pulmonary M. abscessus infection also includes a combination of antibiotics for a prolonged period of time as well as surgical resection of the localized disease. The majority of pulmonary M. abscessus infection are chronic and incurable. Successful treatment is more likely if the patient undergoes surgical resection following the initial antibiotic therapy.[1]
