All rights reserved.Mycobacterium abscessus appears to be increasing cause of pulmonary infection in children with underlying risk factors including cystic fibrosis, chronic lung disease and immunodeficiency syndromes. We present a case of pulmonary M. abscessus infection in a pediatric patient with primary ciliary dyskinesia and he was successfully treated with parenteral amikacin, linezolid and oral clarithromycin combined with inhaled amikacin. Clinical improvement was observed after adding inhaled amikacin to the treatment.
