Overview
Infection with mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) can lead to Skin, soft tissues and bone infections, bronchopulmonary infections, and disseminated infection in non-AIDS immunocompromised patients[1] Minor infections with M. abscessus can resolve either spontaneously or following surgical debridement.[2] The majority of pulmonary M. abscessus infection are chronic and incurable. When pulmonary M. abscessus infection occurs in the absence of any predisposing conditions, the course of the disease is slowly progressive and indolent. Whereas, when the pulmonary infection is associated with underlying predisposing factors, such as gastrointestinal or pulmonary conditions, the disease is rapidly progressive and fulminant.[3]
Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
Infection with M. abscessus can lead to:
- Skin, soft tissues and bone infections
- Open wound infection
- Bronchopulmonary infection[1]
- Disseminated infection in non-AIDS immunocompromised patients[1]
- M. abscessus hand-and-foot disease[5][6]
- Other rare infections
- Vertebral osteomyelitis[7]
- Abdominal infection[8]
- Lymphadenitis[2]
Skin and Soft Tissue Infection
Minor infections with M. abscessus can resolve either spontaneously or following surgical debridement. In the absence of therapy, abscesses that occur after injection of the organism may last up to 8 to 12 months until they resolve spontaneously.[2]
M. abscessus hand-and-foot disease has been described in the pediatric population with wading and public pool exposure.[5][6] The disease is characterized by self limited tender, erythematous, pustules, papules, and abscesses in the hands and feet.[5][6]
Pulmonary Infection
M. abscessus is the most common non tuberculosis mycobacterial infection in cystic fibrosis.[9] Chronic infection with M. abscessus is associated with a decline in lung function among patients with cystic fibrosis.[10] The most commonly reported symptom is cough. Constitutional symptoms increase as the disease progresses. The only effective long-term therapy for M. abscessus was reported to be surgical resection of the localized disease.[3] Death may occur in these patients (mortality in ~14% of patients) due to respiratory failure secondary to the progressive lung disease.[3]
When pulmonary M. abscessus infection occurs in the absence of any predisposing conditions, the course of the disease is slowly progressive and indolent. Whereas, when the pulmonary infection is associated with underlying predisposing factors, such as gastrointestinal or pulmonary conditions, the disease is rapidly progressive and fulminant.[3]
The majority of pulmonary M. abscessus infection are chronic and incurable. Successful treatment is more likely if the disease is limited and if the patient undergoes surgical resection following the initial antibiotic therapy.[2]
