Non‐tuberculous mycobacterial bone and joint infections – a case series from a tertiary referral centre in Australia
Antimicrobial complications were common; however, all patients were infection free at their latest follow up. Despite the inherent limitations, these results suggest that routinely ordering mycobacterial culture is of low yield. There is potential for shorter-term oral antimicrobial treatments. Prospective research is required to optimize treatment regimens and durations.
