Multiple abdominal abscesses - A not so common presentation of NTM.
Indian Journal of Tuberculosis 2017 July

They are acid fast bacilli often giving trouble to the physician to distinguish it from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. These organisms are a menace for the treating physician as when to treat and when not to treat. They are often difficult to diagnose and may present in a variety of forms with propensity to cause number of infections of different body parts and organs.
