Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an atypical, severe, and multifocal dermatological manifestation of Mycobacterium chelonae infection.
  • To highlight the successful management of such a case in an immunocompetent patient.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of an immunocompetent patient with severe dermatological manifestation.
  • Multidisciplinary treatment approach including antimicrobial therapy and surgical management.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with atypical, severe, and multifocal skin lesions.
