Mycobacterium abscessus is currently slow-growing mycobacteria considered more pathogenic. Cause infections, especially in patients with cystic fibrosis and has been described with increasing frequency in infections of skin and soft tissues secondary to invasive procedures such as acupuncture, insulin injections, mesotherapy, and laparoscopic and arthroscopic procedures after undergoing cosmetic procedures in plastic surgery like breast implants and implant lipoplasty. Although very lethal, infection has a high morbidity mainly due to the intrinsic resistance to several antimicrobial M. abscessus, considered the toughest mycobacteria. In order to study the clinical, therape utic and microbiological infections of skin and soft tissue related to surgical procedures for aesthetic M. abscessus, we used a descriptive study with data found in the medical records of 16 patients with infection of skin and soft tissues treated at a university reference state. We analyzed the clinical features of infection during the initial presentation, after removal of the prosthesis implanted in the first query in reference service, during and after the treatment. Given the small sample size was not carried out assessment of statistical significance, but the results show that treatment response is varied, the withdrawal of the implanted prosthesis contributes to initial resolution of symptoms, treatment is prolonged and the recommended treatment schedule is difficult to be performed due to the adverse effects mainly related to amikacin.
