Successful management of complex lung disease in an otherwise healthy infant.

complex (MABC) is an uncommon but increasingly important cause of invasive pulmonary disease, a condition associated with diagnostic and management challenges. MABC has mainly been reported in children with certain medical conditions, such as preexisting structural lung disorders and immunocompromised status. In this article, we describe a rare case of MABC pulmonary disease in an otherwise healthy infant. A 4-month-old female presented with cough and fever for 4 days. Computed tomography showed multiple masses and small nodules across both lungs. Isolated mycobacteria from her bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and gastric aspirate were identified as MABC by using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and subsp. was ultimately identified by DNA sequence analysis. Prolonged treatment with a combination of azithromycin, cefoxitin, and moxifloxacin achieved a successful treatment outcome.
