| Popis: | Mycobacterium abscessus is a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium existing extensively in water, soil, and dust that causes infections of skin, soft tissue, respiratory, and central nervous system by direct contact with contaminated material or water.1 The incidence of cutaneous M abscessus infection has increased in the past decade. Most reported cases were associated with trauma, surgery, or cosmetic procedures, including autologous fat injection, mesotherapy, tattooing, and even hair transplantation.2,3 We report 2 cases of M abscessus infection associated with facial injection of botulinum toxin (BTX) in patients who were immunocompetent. |
