Summary of treatment and monitoring of 2 HIV-positive persons who had disseminated Mycobacterium abscessus infections, London, UK. A) Case-patient 1. B) Case-patient 2. The infection in case-patient 1 was secondary to fecal abdominal cavity contamination after rectal perforation. Bars in top section show timing of treatments; red indicates bedaquiline. Drug regimens and treatment responses were measured by using Hb (g/L), Neut (× 109 cells/L), and CRP (mg/L). Values (+ and –) on the bottom of panel B are results for mycobacterial blood cultures. CRP, C-reactive protein; Hb, hemoglobin; Neut, neutrophils.
