Purpose: To explore the management of a rare ophthalmic infection caused by a multi-resistant strain of Mycobacterium abscessus in the anophthalmic cavity of a patient with a history of multiple eye surgeries. Observations: A 60-year-old woman with a history of multiple ocular complications, culminating in the enucleation of the eye and subsequent dermograft implant, developed a resistant infection in the anophthalmic cavity. The infection persisted despite various local interventions and broad-spectrum systemic antibiotic treatments. Resolution of the infection was only achieved after precise diagnosis and the implementation of intensive treatment, which included a specific combination of antibiotics and appropriate surgical debridement of the anophthalmic cavity. Conclusions and importance: This case highlights the complexity in managing ophthalmic infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria. It underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary and personalized treatment approach, as well as the need to develop specific guidelines for ophthalmic infections caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria. |
