Mycobacterium haemophilum is an established cause of cutaneous lesions in immunocompromised hosts. We report the first known case of epididymal abscess, which highlights the need to work up all specimens that are acid-fast bacillus-positive for M. haemophilum from immunocompromised hosts, regardless of body site.
嗜血性分枝杆菌是免疫功能低下宿主皮肤病变的既定病因。我们报告了首例已知的附睾脓肿病例,这凸显了对免疫功能低下宿主中所有抗酸杆菌阳性标本进行嗜血性分枝杆菌检测的必要性,无论病变部位在身体何处。
