Atypical mycobacterial infections of the skin have increased in frequency in immunocompromised individuals in recent years. Such patients may follow a different clinical pattern from immunocompetent patients, often lacking a history of preceding trauma and presenting with multiple suppurating subcutaneous nodules. A sporotrichoid pattern of spread may occur with the species Mycobacterium kansasii and M. marinum but is rare with M. chelonei.
近年来，免疫功能低下个体的皮肤非典型分枝杆菌感染频率有所增加。这类患者的临床模式可能与免疫功能正常的患者不同，通常没有先前创伤史，而是表现为多个化脓性皮下结节。堪萨斯分枝杆菌和海分枝杆菌可能会出现孢子丝菌病样的传播模式，但龟分枝杆菌则很少见。
