摘要
We report the case of a 24-year-old man with a cutaneous Mycobacterium fortuitum infection. The investigation and management of this patient are discussed, and literature pertaining to this organism is reviewed. The importance of considering mycobacteria in the pathogenesis of chronic cutaneous disease is stressed.
