Diagnosing atypical mycobacterial infection of the skin can be very difficult

Thu, 04/02/2009 - 00:26 — Dr. Sate Hamza MD, FRCPC

The patient is a 2 year old girl with multiple nodules localized on the left foot with a few nodules present on the more proximal part of the leg (sporotrichoid spread). The clinical thought was that this has got to be either sporotrichosis or atypical mycobacterial infection.
