Mycobacterium abscessus  ( M. abscessus ) is among the most common rapidly growing mycobacteria causing infections in humans. Skin and soft tissue infections, especially those following trauma or surgery are the most common infections caused by this pathogen. We describe the case of a 22-year old female with cerebral palsy and chronic respiratory insufficiency requiring nocturnal ventilation through a tracheostomy, who was admitted to a hospital with worsening shortness of breath, fever, and ventilator dependence. The patient was diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by bilateral pneumonia due to  M. abscessus  infection .  The patient received prolonged antibiotic treatment and respiratory support which led to clinical recovery and bacteriological cure.
