Abstract

We present a case report about a 26-year-old female with a Mycobacterium wolinskyi surgical site infection after bilateral breast augmentation. In a unique approach in comparison to previously reported cases, the patient was successfully treated in an outpatient setting using only orally administered cotrimoxazole (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole) and ciprofloxacin with one-sided preservation of the breast prothesis. We also provide a comprehensive overview of all report cases of M. wolinskyi infections available in the PubMed database until December 2023 and compare different diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
