Diagnosis and Management of Atypical Mycobacterial Infection after Laparoscopic Surgery. A series of 145 laparoscopy port site infections due to Mycobacterium chelonae were found in 35 patients following laparoscopy at a single hospital over a six-week period. Remedial control measures included changing to ethylene oxide gas sterilization of laparoscopic equipment instead of chemical sterilization, thorough dismantling and manual precleaning of instruments, drying prior to gas sterilization, and random checks of environmental samples within the operating room complex for acid-fast bacilli. Risk factors Immune compromise, AIDS. In Vitro Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Iran. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. Our present study shows frequent association of NTM with laparoscopic port-site nonhealing chronic infection or wound dehiscence. Certain forms of infection are localized geographically or by exposure to certain elements.  |  Although cutaneous mycobacterial infections are uncommon, a high degree of suspicion is warranted when investigating skin lesions that do not respond to standard antimicrobial therapy. eCollection 2018. 2001 Oct 15;33(8):1363-74. doi: 10.1086/323126. Atypical mycobacterial infections at the laparoscopic port site are a frequent problem encountered in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. eCollection 2017. Isolates from the cases were identified using biochemical tests or molecular methods and studied the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern by the standard microbiologic procedures.

Atypical mycobacterial infections are infections caused by several types of mycobacteria similar to the germ that causes tuberculosis. Others include M. chelonae and abscesses, M. kansaii, M. fortuitum, and M. xenopi. Methods: PSIs are preventable with appropriate preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative measures. When assessing a patient with a tattoo reaction, M. chelonae infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Purpose: Background: Port-site infection (PSI) is a prevailing, chronic, nagging, treatment refractory complication of laparoscopic surgery (LS). It neutralizes the advantages of minimally invasive surgery and increases morbidity, treatment cost of patient, leading to loss of confidence on operating surgeon. Epub 2001 Sep 5. But they can still harm people, especially people with other problems that affect their immunity, such as AIDS. (Definition/Background Information) Atypical Mycobacterial Infection is any infection caused by a species of mycobacteria that does not result in classical tuberculosis; The species of mycobacterium that can cause Atypical Mycobacterial Infection include: Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare; Mycobacterium kansasii 2016 Mar;22(2):172-8. doi: 10.1089/mdr.2015.0134. NIH Port-site infection (PSI) is a prevailing, chronic, nagging, treatment refractory complication of laparoscopic surgery (LS). Still others cause infections that are called atypical mycobacterial infections. eCollection 2019. Management of atypical mycobacterial ocular infections can be difficult because in vitro antibiotic activity does not always correlate with in vivo efficacy and because normal immune defenses against mycobacteria may work too slowly to prevent irreversible damage to infected ocular tissues. Assessment and verification of commercially available pressure cookers for laboratory sterilization. All isolates analyzed for antimicrobial susceptibility pattern were highly sensitive to clarithromycin (93.3%), amikacin (93.3%), and imipenem (80%) but were variable to ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, and linezolid. atypical mycobacterial infection: Infection with mycobacteria other than those causing tuberculosis or leprosy. The organisms are hardy due to their cell wall, which is neither truly Gram negative nor positive. Patil AR, Nandikoor S, Mohanty HS, Godhi S, Bhat R. Insights Imaging. Gram stain and Ziehl-Neelsen staining methods were used for direct examination. The organism survived and grew within the biofilm at the bottom of disinfectant … Atypical mycobacterial exit-site infection and peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients on prophylactic exit-site gentamicin cream Perit Dial Int.

The treatment of atypical mycobacterial disease varies from being easy and straight-forward to quite complicated, and at times, unsuccessful. 2010;72:438-42. Acid-fast mycobacteria that do not produce tuberculosis or Hansen's disease are grouped under non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) or atypical mycobacteria (1).

A series of 145 laparoscopy port site infections due to Mycobacterium chelonae were found in 35 patients following laparoscopy at a single hospital over a six-week period. Conclusions: Immunosuppressed patients typically show a more diffuse infiltrate that involves the subcutaneous fat with abscess formation. Shen Y, Wang X, Jin J, Wu J, Zhang X, Chen J, Zhang W.
