Treatment consists of more surgery and prolonged antibiotic therapy guided by drug susceptibility testing. Paradoxical reactions occurring during antibiotic therapy can further complicate treatment of non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections. We report a case of post liposuction Mycobacterium abscessus surgical site infection in a returned medical tourist and occurrence of paradox during treatment. | URI: | https://elibrary.cclhd.health.nsw.gov.au/cclhdjspui/handle/1/1602 | DOI: | 10.4081/idr.2015.6304 | Pubmed: | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26753088 | ISSN: | 2036-7430 | Publicaton type: | Journal Article | Keywords: | Drug Therapy Microbiology |
