Early Surgical Intervention

A 40-year-old woman was referred to infectious disease specialists for a Mycobacterium mageritense skin infection following mastectomy and bilateral reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric perforator flap. Her case demonstrates the difficulty in treating non-tuberculosis mycobacterial infections, especially the rarely seen species. She failed to respond to dual antibiotic therapy containing imipenem-cilastin despite reported sensitivity. Additionally, her course was complicated by intolerance to various regimens, including gastrointestinal distress, a drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, and tendinopathy. With few published data, no treatment guidelines, and limited medications from which to choose for M. mageritense, her treatment posed a challenge. She ultimately required aggressive surgical intervention and a triple therapy antibiotic regimen. The duration of our patient’s treatment and the extent of her complications suggest a potential need for early surgical intervention in postsurgical wounds infected with M. mageritense that do not respond to conventional treatment.
