  • Title: Severe sporotrichoid infection with Mycobacterium szulgai.
    Author: Kapur N, Schuster H, Parker N, Kelsey MC, Goldsmith PC.
    Journal: Clin Exp Dermatol; 2004 Jul; 29(4):377-9. PubMed ID: 15245534.
    Abstract:
    Mycobacterium szulgai is a nontuberculous, acid-fast bacillus or atypical mycobacteria, which prior to 1972 was not thought of as a pathogen. Since then most cases reported in the literature have been of pulmonary disease with only a few case reports of cutaneous disease. Our patient, who had an underlying, uncategorized, immunosuppressive condition, presented with multiple severe ulcers spreading proximally up the arms in a sporotrichoid pattern with more scatttered lesions on his legs. He made a full recovery with appropriate antimicrobial treatment.
