Overview
The treatment of Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) skin and soft tissue infection includes draining collections of pus, surgical debridement, and administration of combination of antibiotics. M. abscessus has a variable in vitro drug susceptibilities profile; therefore, antibiotic susceptibility testing is required. The treatment of pulmonary M. abscessus infection includes a combination of antibiotics and surgical resection of the localized disease. M. abscessus infection is treated by a macrolide-based multidrug antibiotic regimen. The duration of the antibiotic regimen depends on the site of infection: 2-4 months in pulmonary infection, at least 4 months in skin and soft tissue infection, and 6 months for bone infection.
Medical Therapy
Skin and Soft Tissue Infections
The treatment of M. abscessus includes the following:
- Draining collections of pus
- Surgical debridement[1]
- Administration of combination of antibiotics for a prolonged period of time (macrolide based regimen)[1]
Pulmonary Infection
The treatment of pulmonary M. abscessus infection includes:
- Administration of combination of antibiotics for a prolonged period of time (macrolide based regimen)[1]
- Surgical resection of the localized disease[1]
Treatment
- 1.Limited, localized extrapulmonary disease [2]
- Preferred regimen: Clarithromycin 500 mg PO bid ± Amikacin 10-15 mg/kg/day IV or 25 mg/kg three times weekly for 4 months
- 2.Pulmonary or serious extrapulmonary disease
- Preferred regimen: Clarithromycin 500 mg PO bid AND Amikacin 15 mg/kg/day IV AND Cefoxitin 2g IV q4h OR Imipenem 1g IV q6h for at least 2-4 months
- Note: If limited by adverse effects THEN Clarithromycin 500 mg PO bid or 1000 mg XR qd OR Azithromycin 250 mg PO qd
- Alternative regimen(1): Tigecycline 100 mg IV loading dose THEN 50 mg IV q12h
- Note: could be substituted as one of the injectables
- Alternative regimen(2): Linezolid 600 mg PO bid or 600 mg PO qd AND Clarithromycin
- Note: Could replace parental tx if not tolerated or feasible
