MABC has mainly been reported in children with certain medical conditions, such as preexisting structural lung disorders and immunocompromised status. In this article, we describe a rare case of MABC pulmonary disease in an otherwise healthy infant. A 4-month-old female presented with cough and fever for 4 days. Computed tomography showed multiple masses and small nodules across both lungs. Isolated mycobacteria from her bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and gastric aspirate were identified as MABC by using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and M. abscessus subsp. massiliense was ultimately identified by DNA sequence analysis. Prolonged treatment with a combination of azithromycin, cefoxitin, and moxifloxacin achieved a successful treatment outcome.Keywords: nontuberculous mycobacteria, pulmonary, drug resistance, azithromycin, treatment outcome
