ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
NTM(non tuberculous mycobacteria) is rare cause of surgical site infection after plastic surgery in immunocompetent patients. There are some reports about NTM infection after body contouring procedure from Latin America. But, there is no report in Korea. The purpose of this article is to report 2 patients with soft tissue infection caused by NTM after body contouring procedure.METHODS:
Two young female patients exhibited signs of inflammation and abscess after body contouring procedure. One patient underwent liposuction. The other underwent HPL(hypotonic pharmacologic lipo-dissolution) injection.RESULTS:
The result of tissue cultures were positive for NTM. All patients responded to the combined therapeutic approach.CONCLUSION:
The goal of this article is to raise awareness among plastic surgeons who may encounter such patients in their practice. NTM should be included in the differential diagnosis of surgical site infection after body contouring surgery.
