摘要：

The management of neurological infections due to non-tubercular mycobacteria is extremely challenging because of scarce literature, issues with penetration, lack of easily available susceptibility platforms and adverse effects associated with long term therapy. We report a case of a young girl with neurological infection due to rapidly growing mycobacteria to discuss the factors that should be considered while choosing the therapy for such rare and persistent infections.
