Abstract

Mycobacterium abscessus is an emerging cause of invasive infection in the immunosuppressed population. We report a case of M. abscessus bloodstream and catheter tunnel infection localized by positron emission tomography/computer tomography (PET/CT) in an allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant recipient. This case highlights the difficulties in treating invasive M. abscessus infection and the potential role of PET/CT in localizing infection and guiding therapy in this population.
