Abstract:

The present case of Mycobacterium abscessus olecranon bursitis in an immunocompetant male treated with surgical drainage without requirement of antimycobacterial therapy. Nontuberculous mycobacteria are widely listed as an infective cause of olecranon bursitis and other skin and soft tissue infections. Direct inoculation of the organism during trauma leads to musculoskeletal infections in particular. We could not find any other case report of olecranon bursitis caused by M. abscessus in the literature. This case extends the view about nontuberculous mycobacterial infections in immunocometant adults with co-morbid condition such as diabetes.


Keywords: abscessus, Olecranon bursitis, Immunocompetant
