Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is a ubiquitous soil pathogen that is an uncommon cause of diseases in immunocompetent patients. In this case, we describe the presentation of an otherwise healthy man in his 50s presenting with months of malaise and severe hip pain, with aspiration initially yielding no bacteria and presumed fastidious infection. He was treated with irrigation and debridement, surgical stabilisation of the femoral neck and conventional broad-spectrum antibiotics with final cultures diagnostic of MAC osteomyelitis. This case serves to demonstrate the importance of clinical suspicion and appropriate workup of this unusual case of MAC hip osteomyelitis in an otherwise immunocompetent patient.
