ABSTRACT

The patient was a 45-year-old woman whose mother had died of pulmonary Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) disease. The patient was treated with the standard antibiotic therapy for pulmonary M. avium disease for 9 months. However, her sputum cultures remained positive for M. avium. She received liposomal amikacin inhalation therapy for 5 months. Negative conversion of sputum culture and improvement in imaging findings were observed. Thoracoscopic lingulectomy of the residual lesion was performed, and her sputum cultures remained negative for M. avium after the surgery. This case suggests that liposomal amikacin inhalation therapy is effective as a preoperative antibiotic therapy.
