ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The incidence of infection with Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) has increased in recent years. This increase is partly associated with invasive cosmetic procedures.

CASE SUMMARY: The purpose of this case summary is to increase clinicians' awareness of M. abscessus infection and reduce mycobacterial infection caused by cosmetic procedures. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman who received acetyl hexapeptide-8 (argireline) injections in the forehead and temples, and erythema, nodules, and abscesses appeared at the injection sites after one week. The pus specimens were examined by microbiological culture and confirmed to be positive for M. abscessus. Clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily and moxifloxacin 400 mg once daily were administered for 5 mo and the lesions gradually subsided.

CONCLUSIO N: We report here for the first time a case of infection with M. abscessus after argireline injection. This condition is easily misdiagnosed as a common bacterial infection. Microbiological examinations are helpful for diagnosis and standardized cosmetic procedures can prevent infection with M. abscessus.
