Popis:	Abstract A 58‐year‐old woman with tetralogy of Fallot was referred to our hospital with a 2‐month history of hemoptysis and low‐grade fever. The sputum smear on admission showed positive results for acid‐fast bacilli, and comparative genomic analysis of the cultured sputum confirmed Mycobacteroides abscessus subsp. abscessus infection. Long‐term combination antimicrobial therapy gradually improved the patient's symptoms. Although non‐tuberculous mycobacteria infection is rarely observed in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease, a worldwide increase in non‐tuberculous mycobacteria infections may increase the incidence of this rare combination.
