Mixed Infection of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the Lung

Abstract: A mixed infection of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus (Mab) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in the lung is an unusual clinical manifestation and has not yet been reported. A 61-year-old woman had been treated for Mab lung disease and concomitant pneumonia, and was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). Despite both anti-PTB and anti-Mab therapy, her entire left lung was destroyed and collapsed. She underwent left pneumonectomy and received medical therapy. We were able to successfully treat … Show more

“…Additionally, patients suffering from cystic fibrosis or other immunosuppressive condition can be infected by different mycobacteria at the same time. In fact, co-infections with M. abscessus and M. tuberculosis have been reported [27, 28]. The strong bactericidal effect of FP-11g against M. smegmatis supports investigation of this compound and its derivatives for its potential use as a broad antimycobacterial agent.…”

“…The challenges of managing MTBC and M. avium complex (MAC) co-infection are well described, including the risk for falsely interpreted Xpert RIF (rifampin) results (1,2). MTBC and M. abscessus co-infection has been described in case reports only (3,4). We describe co-infection with 4 species of mycobacteria.…”
