“…Since there is no established standard therapy against M. massiliense , the treatment of M. massiliense infections is usually empirically selected. M. massiliense does not show a uniform pattern of resistance to doxycycline in many reported cases compared to other NTM species including M. abscessus 4,7. Also, the response rates to combination antibiotic therapies including those containing clarithromycin were much higher in patients with M. massiliense lung disease than in those with M. abscessus lung disease2.…”

Mycobacterium massiliense which is recognized as a separate species from M. abscessus is little known regarding its clinical patterns and the response to treatment. We present a case of a localized cutaneous infection due to M. massiliense of the sole associated with acupuncture. M. massiliense was identified via polymerase chain reaction-hybridization analysis. We treated the patient with single-drug therapy consisting of clarithromycin for 4 months and the patient showed a significant response to this treatment.

“…Subsequently, M. massiliense infections were reported in soft tissue infections after injection of drugs, various cosmetic procedures, and surgery. 7 Our patient may have been infected following a triamcinolone injection under septic conditions. NTM cutaneous infection usually manifests as a single localized lesion at the trauma site.…”

A case of panniculitis caused byMycobacterium massiliensemimicking erythema induratum

Among nontuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM), rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) are the most common causative agents of soft tissue infection. Mycobacterium massiliense, a new species of NTM, was isolated in 2004. Due to the lower virulence of RGM, M. massiliense infection is rare in the general population. Here, we report a case of multiple infective panniculitis, due to M. massiliense, mimicking erythema induratum in a patient with Cushing syndrome. The organism was identified using traditional mycobacterial culturing and staining methods as well as molecular approaches, including erythromycin ribosome transferase gene polymerase chain reaction. The patient was treated with clarithromycin for 9 months, based on antibiotic susceptibility testing.

“…La enfermedad asociada a micobacterias no tuberculosas (MNTs) es el tipo de infección más común asociado a la mesoterapia, particularmente por Mycobacterium chelonae y Mycobacterium abscessus 2 . El diagnóstico microbiológico de estas infecciones es difícil, debido a la baja sensibilidad y especificidad de las técnicas empleadas para ello, como el cultivo en Löwenstein Jensen 3 , y el tiempo necesario para el crecimiento de este tipo de microorganismos 4,5 .…”
