I don't think it's atypical TB really, though that was what I heard. I think atypical mycobacterium is more accurate. It's the abscessus one.

I'll see if I can edit that post.

Here is a monograph on it:

While this is certainly a major bummer... I do hope all your efforts are successful. I would also wonder about all those high dose nasal steroids you used. Steroids reduce immune response. And I guess you will never know if that steroid nasal spray was prepared properly? Since they were sloppy with you, they could be sloppy in other ways too. (this is just common sense).
