“…Non-tuberculous mycobacteria are generally associated with infection in immunodeficiency states such as human immune deficiency virus, genetic mutations in the synthesis of interferon gamma and interleukin-12, and other conditions such as bronchiectasis, peculiar body habitus such as pectus excavatum, scoliosis, and mitral valve prolapse [10][11][12][13]. Arteriovenous fistula thrombosis secondary to Mycobacterium tuberculosis [14] and arteriovenous graft infection secondary to Mycobacterium abscessus [15] has previously been reported.…”

Background Mycobacterium massiliense is a rapidly growing a non-tuberculous mycobacterium that has been validated as a separate species from the Mycobacterium abscessus group. Only few antibiotics have demonstrated germicidal activity against Mycobacterium massiliense, and some of those include amikacin, clarithromycin, and cefoxitin. Case presentation We present the first reported case of near-fatal septic shock caused by disseminated Mycobacterium massiliense after de-clotting of an infected arteriovenous fistula, in a patient with end-stage renal disease with concomitant human immunodeficiency virus infection. Early recognition of the culprit organism and treatment with a combination therapy of clarithromycin and amikacin led to rapid improvement. Conclusion This unique case can highlight the importance of taking into consideration Mycobacterium massiliense infection as a cause of arteriovenous fistula thrombosis and highlights the risk of disseminated infection leading to life threatening sepsis upon de-clotting of the fistula.

“…M. abscessus is a ubiquitous saprophytic organism that is capable of causing human disease under appropriate conditions, such as trauma induced by surgery, an animal scratch or sting, a stab wound, or injection with nonsterile needles. 1) To our knowledge, only a few cases such as endocarditis, 2) hemodialysis arteriovenous graft infection 3) and femoropopliteal graft infection 4) due to M. abscessus, has been reported in cardiovascular surgery. The case we report here is the first patient to have complications after a stripping operation.…”

Mycobacterium abscessus is an acid-fast nontuberculous mycobacterium that grows rapidly in culture. The organism is found in dust, soil, and water and after trauma, it may infect skin and soft tissue. The organism is rarely found in humans, and infections occurring after cardiovascular surgery are rare clinical events. To our knowledge, only a few cases of hemodialysis arteriovenous graft infection and endocarditis caused by M. abscessus have been described. We reported a first case of patient with M. abscessus graft infection after a stripping operation and skin grafting to a left lower leg ulcer.
