Rapidly growing mycobacteria have been associated with postoperative infections in patients undergoing cosmetic surgery procedures. In April 2004, CDC received reports of infections caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria in patients who had undergone cosmetic surgery procedures in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (DR). CDC, along with state and local health departments, is investigating additional cases identified by passive surveillance (i.e., solicitation of reports from clinicians by using electronic networks) and, in some areas, active surveillance (i.e., review of laboratory reports).
快速生长分枝杆菌与接受整容手术的患者术后感染有关。2004年4月，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）收到报告，多米尼加共和国圣多明各接受整容手术的患者发生了由快速生长分枝杆菌引起的感染。CDC与州和地方卫生部门正在调查通过被动监测（即通过电子网络向临床医生征集报告）以及在某些地区通过主动监测（即审查实验室报告）确定的其他病例。
