Fellow, Pediatric Pulmonology
03.23.11

• Nasal congestion and decreased activity x24 hours
• Fever to 103 °F overnight
• Unable to come off the ventilator this morning
• Low-grade fevers and greenish drainage from the
tracheostomy stoma site for the last 5 months
CRP (mg/dL)

Friday 4:00 PM Call
• Abundant growth of AFB within 48 hours on a fungal
plate
→ Mycobacterium abscessus
Never Saw That One Coming…
•
M. abscessus an unusual disease-causing pathogen
in this population
•
•
•
Uncommon cause of tracheitis
Tracheostomy nor BPD not considered a siginficant risk factor
Colonization versus infection?
•
•
•
Circumstances surrounding recovery of this pathogen
Clinical symptoms
Radiographic disease
2007 ATS/IDSA Diagnostic Criteria
Microbiological Findings
• 3/2/11: Tracheostomy stoma site and a tracheal aspirate
both positive
• 3/9/11: BAL fluid positive
Rapidly Growing Mycobacteria (RGM)
• Subgroup of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)
• Visible growth on solid media within 7 days
• Ubiquitous environmental organism
• Southern coastal states
• Water, soil, biofilm
M. abscessus Epidemiology
• RGM-specific incidence not definitively known
• Isolation: 1.51/100,000
• Disease: 0.39/100,000
• Most common clinical disorders due to RGM
• Skin/soft tissue infections
• Chronic lung disease (bronchiectasis, nodules, cavitations)
• M. abscessus
• Most common respiratory pathogen among RGM
• Third most common respiratory pathogen among all NTM
Risk Factors For M. abscessus Pulmonary Disease
•
•
•
•
•
Caucasian women, >60 years old, thin, nonsmoker
Prior TB infection/treatment
Gastroesophageal motility disorders
Cystic fibrosis
Alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency
M. abscessus Treatment
• In vitro resistance to multiple
antibiotics
• Typical regimen
•
•
•
IV amikacin +
IV imipenem or cefoxitin +
PO clarithromycin
• Newer agents
•
•
•
Linezolid
Tigecycline
Telithromycin
Our Patient
• Admitted 3/21/11 to initiate antimicrobial therapy
• Inhaled amikacin
• IV tigecycline
• GT clarithromycin
Summary and Considerations
• Fevers of unknown origin in a 4 year old trach/vent child
• Stoma drainage, supplemental oxygen need, radiographic
findings
• “Reassuring” serial clinical examinations of the stoma
• Serendipitous isolation of M. abscessus
• Now that we’ve started therapy…
• Monitoring?
• Duration?
• Immune work-up?
Take Home Points For My Fellow Fellows
1. M. abscessus is a member of rapidly growing (≤7 days)
mycobacteria
2. Neither tracheostomy nor BPD are well-documented
risk factors for M. abscessus
3. 2007 ATS/IDSA guidelines
• Clinical symptoms
• Radiographic findings
• Confirmatory cultures
• ≥2 sputum from different samples or
• ≥1 bronchial or
• lung biopsy (granuloma/AFB + a positive culture)
Thank You!

Cryptic Resistance
•
•
•
•
•
Macrolide antimicrobial agents act by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit and
inhibiting peptide synthesis.
Erythromycin methylase (erm) genes code for methylases that impair binding of
macrolides to ribosomes
Inducible erm41 is the primary mechanism of acquired clinically significant macrolide
resistance for some mycobacteria, especially RGM
All isolates of M. abscessus, M. fortuitum and several other RGM, but not M.
chelonae, contain an inducible erm gene
If an M. fortuitum or M. abscessus isolate is exposed to macrolide, the erm gene
activity is induced with subsequent in-vivo macrolide resistance which may not be
accompanied by a change in the in-vitro MIC
