In this report, we introduce a case of erosive polyarthritis in a 55-year-old female diagnosed with Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary infection. Her arthritis has been worsened after use of DMARDs. The patient demonstrated a significant response to the antimicrobial regimen that was administered. We call special attention to the possibility of Mycobacterium abscessus being a cause of reactive polyarthritis, particularly if symptoms worsened after use of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), but further studies are necessary for clarification.
在本报告中，我们介绍了一例55岁女性的侵蚀性多关节炎病例，该患者被诊断为脓肿分枝杆菌肺部感染。使用改善病情抗风湿药（DMARDs）后，她的关节炎病情加重。患者对抗菌治疗方案表现出显著反应。我们特别关注脓肿分枝杆菌作为反应性多关节炎病因的可能性，尤其是在使用改善病情抗风湿药（DMARDs）后症状加重的情况下，但需要进一步研究以明确。
