Fever work-up unfolds a rare diagnosis of native valve endocarditis caused by Mycobacterium abscessus. Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology. 2019 Dec; 62(4): 589-5910377-49290974-5130http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/196399Endocarditis caused by Mycobacterium abscessus is rare and often missed without appropriate blood cultures. It does not respond to standard antitubercular treatment and is also resistant to many other antibiotics. The course of the disease may be indolent and often results in a fatal outcome. Accurate identification and sensitivity, combination therapy, and prolonged duration of antibiotics are, therefore, important for a successful outcome.EndocarditisMycobacterium abscessusnative valveFever work-up unfolds a rare diagnosis of native valve endocarditis caused by Mycobacterium abscessusJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Lab Medicine, Fortis Hospital, Mohali, Punjab, IndiaDepartment of Cardiology, Fortis Hospital, Mohali, Punjab, IndiaDepartment of Critical Care, Fortis Hospital, Mohali, Punjab, IndiaDepartment of Cardiac Surgery, Fortis Hospital, Mohali, Punjab, India
