“…A combination antimicrobial therapy is however recommended to avoid development of mutational resistance. [12][13][14] We reported two chronic infective cases in immunocompetent individuals,the first case showed cutaneous manifestation in the form of microabscesses in a 24 year old male. The second case manifested as non-healing wound ulcer.…”

Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections are on the rise. They often cause skin diseases that are misdiagnosed.Two cases of Mycobacterium chelonae infection in immunocompetent patients were presented. First case showed infection of cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue without any preceeding history of skin injury by any intervention like trauma or injection, which was a rare manifestation. The second case showed M chelonae infection as a port site infection in a non healing ulcer. The history and clinical presentation of both the cases were documented. Treatment was also reported with subsequent output during further follow ups. Here both the cases showed resistance to commonly used amtimicrobial agents which increased the suspicion of nontuberculous mycobacterial infection among clinicians and microbiologist and made the diagnosis easier.

Background Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are generally free-living organism, widely distributed in the environment, with sporadic potential to infect. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the global incidence of NTM-related disease, spanning across all continents and an increased mortality after the diagnosis has been reported. The decisions on whether to treat or not and which drugs to use are complex and require a multidisciplinary approach as well as patients’ involvement in the decision process. Methods and Results This review aims at describing the drugs used for treating NTM-associated diseases emphasizing the efficacy, tolerability, optimization strategies as well as possible drugs that might be used in case of intolerance or resistance. We also reviewed data on newer compounds highlighting the lack of randomised clinical trials for many drugs but also encouraging preliminary data for others. We also focused on non-pharmacological interventions that need to be adopted during care of individuals with NTM-associated diseases Conclusions Despite insufficient efficacy and poor tolerability this review emphasizes the improvement in patients’ care and the needs for future studies in the field of anti-NTM treatments.
