Zusammenfassung:Abstract We report a case of visceral disseminated infection by Mycobacterium sherrisii in an African HIV-infected adolescent with multiple abdominal abscesses. Despite in vitro multiple drug resistance to first line antibiotics, a long-term treatment with clarithromycin, moxifloxacin and clindamycin, together with appropriate antiretroviral treatment, resulted in clinical and radiological cure after 19 months of therapy and follow-up.
