Abstract

Rapidly growing Mycobacterial skin and soft tissue infections are known to complicate cosmetic surgical procedures. Treatment consists of more surgery and prolonged antibiotic therapy guided by drug susceptibility testing. Paradoxical reactions occurring during antibiotic therapy can further complicate the treatment of non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections. We report a case of post-liposuction Mycobacterium abscessus surgical site infection in a returned medical tourist and the occurrence of paradox during treatment.
