We describe here a case of abdominal abscesses due to Mycobacterium fortuitum following liposuction. The abscesses developed three months after the procedure and diagnosis was delayed for five months. The clues for diagnosis were persistent pus discharge in spite of broad spectrum antibiotics and failure to grow any organisms on routine culture. This condition has been rarely reported; however, the increasing number of liposuction procedures done and awareness among physicians will probably result in the identification of more cases. Combination antibiotic therapy with surgical drainage in more extensive diseases is essential for cure.
我们在此描述一例吸脂术后因偶然分枝杆菌引起腹部脓肿的病例。脓肿在手术三个月后出现,诊断延误了五个月。诊断线索是尽管使用了广谱抗生素仍有持续的脓液排出,且常规培养未培养出任何微生物。这种情况鲜有报道;然而,吸脂手术数量的增加以及医生意识的提高可能会导致发现更多病例。对于更广泛的疾病,联合抗生素治疗与手术引流对于治愈至关重要。
