Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Injection abscess is an iatrogenic infection occurring as an isolated case or as an outbreak. These infections occurs following tattooing, injection, vaccination and implants. Pathogens such as Klebsiella, E. coli, Pseudomonas and Staph aureus, are the common causative agents. Some unusual organisms such as Mycobacterium, especially the Rapidly growing Non-tuberculus mycobacterium (NTM) may cause the injection abscess. We report a case of two year old child who presented with an abscess following an intramuscular injection and was confirmed as Mycobacterium abscessus which was treated uneventfully.
