摘要：
Empyema thoracis with concomitant bacteremia caused by nontuberculous mycobacterium is rare. Herein, we report a case of disseminated Mycobacterium abscessus in a patient with liver cirrhosis and diabetes mellitus. M. abscessus was isolated from the specimen of pleural fluid and blood. The patients clinical condition gradually improved after antibiotic use and drainage. Copyright (C) 2013, Taiwan Society of Microbiology. Published by Elsevier Taiwan LLC. All rights reserved.
