It is important to stain acid-fact bacilli on the smear of abscess puncture in addition to Gram stain to detect nontuberculous and tuberculous mycobacteria in the early phase since both can cause rare and challenging extrapulmonary manifestations.
A 56-year-old otherwise healthy woman developed abscess from dacryocystitis in the right lower eyelid. The smear of puncture fluid showed acid-fast bacilli and was identified after a month. The early start of clarithromycin/ethambutol was switched to clarithromycin/levofloxacin. Debridement specimen after 7-month treatment showed granulomatous tissue with no bacilli.
除革兰氏染色外,对脓肿穿刺涂片进行抗酸杆菌染色很重要,以便在早期检测非结核分枝杆菌和结核分枝杆菌,因为两者均可引起罕见且具有挑战性的肺外表现。
一名56岁身体健康的女性右下眼睑泪囊炎引发脓肿。穿刺液涂片显示抗酸杆菌,一个月后得以确诊。最初使用的克拉霉素/乙胺丁醇改为克拉霉素/左氧氟沙星。7个月治疗后的清创标本显示为肉芽肿组织,未见杆菌。
