Abstract
Abstract Mycobacterium abscessus is difficult to eradicate. At the Montpellier CF Center, we prescribed liposomal amikacin for inhalation to 5 patients with M abscessus infection. The 3 patients who completed the treatment did not have any respiratory exacerbation, showed negative cultures for M abscessus in their sputum, and stabilized their spirometric functions.
