Abstract:
Injection lipolysis is emerging as an non-surgical cosmetic procedure in recent years. However related risks should be noted. Non-tuberculous mycobacterium infection caused by Injection lipolysis was rarely reported so far. In October 2020, a patient who developed infection at the injection site after receiving lipolysis injection in a beauty salon was admitted to the Fourth People’s Hospital of Chenzhou. The patient had multiple masses on his right upper arm, abdomen, waist and back, with a size of about 3 cm×4 cm. The local masses was red with high skin temperature, and there was obvious fluctuation and tenderness. Skin abcess was diagnosed. Abscess debridement was performed, the necrotic tissue in the abscess cavity was completely removed and continuous negative pressure drainage was performed. The biopsy showed chronic granulomatous lesions. The secretions were cultured and the results showed rapid growth of non-tuberculous mycobacteria. A microbial genetic test was carried out, and the result was Mycobacterium immunogenun. The medical treatment was amikacin for 1 month and clarithromycin for 6 months. No special discomfort was found during drug administration, and the affected skin was completely healed without recurrence after withdrawal of the drug for half a year.
