Abstract

Cutaneous infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria are uncommon and are so difficult to diagnose. Rapidly growing mycobacteria can cause skin and soft tissue infections in immunocompromised patients. Mycobacterium fortuitum is one of the rapidly growing mycobacterium. In this article, in an immuncompetent patient, we present a case of cutaneous infection in which M. fortuitum is isolated. Our patient recovered completely by clarithromycin and ciprofloxacin treatment given perorally for 12 weeks.

Özet

Non tüberküloz mikobakterilerin yol açtığı kutanöz infeksiyonlar nadirdir ve tanı koymak oldukça güçtür. Hızlı üreyen mikobakteriler immunkompromize hastalarda deri ve yumuşak doku infeksiyonuna neden olabilirler. Mycobacterium fortuitum hızlı üreyen mikobakterilerdendir. Bu makalede immunkompetan bir hastada M. fortuitum'un etken olarak izole edildiği bir deri infeksiyon olgusu sunulmuştur. Hastamız 12 hafta peroral yolla verilen klaritromisin ve siprofloksasin tedavisiyle tam olarak iyileşmiştir.
