Mycobacterium abscessus Gastric Band Infection Complicated by Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome and Cured in the Context of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

© The Author(s) 2020. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Infectious Diseases Society of America..

We present a case of abdominal gastric band-associated Mycobacterium abscessus infection, manifesting after the onset of acute myeloid leukemia, complicated by immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), and cured while receiving an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. IRIS should be considered in less classical situations where there is unexplained clinical deterioration.
