Mycobacterium abscessus is a non-tuberculous mycobacterium which is found widely in soil and water. It is mostly known to cause infection in immunocompromised patients or those with an underlying lung disease, but infection is increasingly seen in otherwise healthy patients. It is commonly multi-drug resistant and presents a challenge for eradication.This case highlights the presentation of a previously well 2 month old with pulmonary Mycobacterium Abscessus infection. Initial treatment involved a prolonged course of antibiotics. At 9 months of age, whilst still on treatment, the patient presented with a swelling in the right axilla, which was shown to be osteomyelitis of the 6th rib, with cold abscess formation. He was managed with surgical debridement and antibiotics. The patient was also given interferon following the immunological testing. This identified a heterozygous IL-12 gene variant and reduced production of interferon-gamma to all stimuli.
