Cutaneous infections caused by atypical mycobacteria are uncommon and the diagnosis can be missed unless there is strong clinical suspicion supported by laboratory confirmation. We report a case of chronic discharging sinus caused by Mycobacterium fortuitum in a young healthy immunocompetent individual. The patient recovered completely following amikacin and ofloxacin therapy.
非典型分枝杆菌引起的皮肤感染并不常见,除非有实验室确认的有力临床怀疑,否则可能会漏诊。我们报告一例由偶然分枝杆菌引起的慢性流脓性窦道病例,患者为一名年轻健康的免疫功能正常个体。患者在接受阿米卡星和氧氟沙星治疗后完全康复。
