Mycobacterium abscessus: a rare cause of vascular graft infection.
Prosthetic vascular graft infection (PVGI) following vascular reconstructive surgery is an uncommon but serious complication and is associated with high morbidity as well as mortality rate. Staphylococcal species are the most common organisms causing PVGI. Mycobacterium abscessus is a very rare cause of PVGI and poses a significant diagnostic and management dilemma. To the best of our knowledge, we report the third documented case of M. abscessus vascular graft infection that was diagnosed with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) scan and treated successfully.
