    Author: Hide M, Hondo T, Yonehara S, Motohiro Y, Okano S.
    Journal: Br J Dermatol; 1997 Jan; 136(1):121-3. PubMed ID: 9039310.
    Abstract:
    Infections caused by Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex are generally manifested as pulmonary disease, osteomyelitis or lymphadenitis, and cutaneous infection is rare. We describe a case of M. intracellulare infection of the skin in a 79-year-old man without apparent immunologically disabling disease or therapy. He had cutaneous infection of the right hand over 10 years, developing a fistula and, finally, an ulcer and abscess, 2 months before his death from heart failure. Mycobacterium intracellulare was identified by both microbiological characteristics and DNA-DNA hybridization.
