Abstract

Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacterial Infections (NTM), also known as Atypical Mycobacterial Infections (AMI), pose a challenge in post-surgical scenarios, particularly after caesarean sections. This case series presents three instances of persistent wound infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) following caesarean deliveries. Each case underscores the complexity of diagnosis, treatment, and management of AMI, highlighting the importance of vigilance, early detection, and aggressive intervention.

Keywords
