| description | <p class="p p-first-last" id="__p2"><em>M. abscessus</em> complex prosthetic joint infections (PJI) of the knee are rare. We present a patient with <em>an M. abscessus subsp. massiliense</em>, a nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM), peri-prosthetic knee infection who presented with wound drainage followed by sepsis. The published peer-reviewed literature on knee PJIs due to this organism is reviewed to highlight its clinical presentation,symptomatology, microbiology, surgical interventions, antimicrobial regimens, and outcomes.</p> |
