Abstract
Treatment of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. massiliense tricuspid valve endocarditis.
Highlights
M. abscessus is considered the most pathogenic and difficult to treat of the rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) and is most often associated with pulmonary, skin, and soft tissue infections; it has been reported to cause ocular infections, otitis, lymphadenitis, arthritis, osteomyelitis, disseminated disease, and prosthetic valve endocarditis [1,2]
We report a case of M. abscessus subsp. massiliense native tricuspid valve endocarditis successfully treated with antimicrobial therapy and surgical debridement
A case of M. chelonae native tricuspid valve endocarditis associated with a pacemaker lead was successfully treated with wire removal, valve debridement, and antimicrobial therapy [11]
