A female patient in her 30s presented to the emergency department with a 10-day history of fever, weakness and diaphoresis. Subsequent investigations revealed a diagnosis of haemophagocytic syndrome, secondary to disseminated non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection affecting the bone marrow, lungs, lymph nodes and skin. The bone marrow culture confirmed the presence of Mycobacterium avium infection. The patient's haemophagocytic syndrome was managed using the HLH-2004 chemoimmunotherapy, and M. avium infection was treated with a combination of clarithromycin, ethambutol, rifampicin, ciprofloxacin and amikacin. Throughout her hospitalisation, the patient faced several serious complications arising from both the medications and the prolonged hospital stay (lasting 12 months). However, these complications were promptly identified and effectively managed through a multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach. This approach was crucial in achieving a favourable patient outcome and successful recovery.
