摘要
A 40-year-old woman presented with a skin disease, characterized by confluent erythematous nodules and purulent material discharges, which affected the right arm. A Ziehl–Nielsen stain of purulent material revealed the presence of acid-fast bacilli. The isolated microorganism was identified by standard biochemical procedures as a member of the Mycobacterium fortuitum group. Molecular identification performed by amplification and sequencing of the 16S rRNA revealed 100% identity with strains of M. fortuitum. The following report reveals an extensive cutaneous affection caused by M. fortuitum in a non-predisposed immunocompetent patient.
