Localized primary cutaneous Mycobacterium kansasii infection in an immunocompromised patient - 07/09/11
Abstract |
Mycobacterium Kansasii is a rare primary cutaneous pathogen, most commonly affecting persons exposed to contaminated water, particularly after local trauma. Most patients who present with localized primary cutaneous M kansasii infection are immunocompetent, whereas the majority of patients with disseminated or pulmonary infection are immunocompromised. We describe a primary cutaneous M kansasii infection in an iatrogenically immunosuppressed patient. (J Am Acad Dermatol 1999;41:854-6.)
