 Otitis media due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria(NTM)is rare, but NTM should be considered as a possible cause of a refractory otorrhea. Mycobacterium abscessus is the most pathogenic and chemotherapy resistant NTM.

 We encountered a case of otitis media caused by M. abscessus in a 74-year-old woman who presented persistent otorrhea. Intravenous amikacin and imipenem/cilastatin and oral clarithromycin were administered for 3 weeks and after initial treatment only clarithromycin was continued for 4 months. After treatment, her symptoms had resolved, and she remained well without any evidence of infection or recurrence for one year.
