Abstract
Mycobacterium abscessus infections can be challenging to treat. Clofazimine has excellent in vitro activity against M abscessus, but reports of its use, particularly in children, have been limited. In this study, clofazimine was given to 27 children during an outbreak of odontogenic mycobacterial infections and seemed to be well tolerated as part of a multidrug regimen.Entities:
