Abstract
|
|
|
|
Non-tubecrulosis mycobacterium infections were increa-singly reported either pulmonary or extrapulmonary in the past decades. In Taiwan, we noticed several reports about the soft tissue infections caused by rapid growing myco-bacterium such as Mycobacterium abscessus, Mycobac-terium chelonae, on newspaper, magazines, or the multi-media. Most of them occurred after a plastic surgery, and medical or non-medical procedures. Here, we reported two cases of these infections following medical procedures. We also discussed common features and the clinical course of the disease, the characteristics of the infected site, and the treatment strategy. The literatures were also reviewed, and the necessity of the treatment guidelines was discussed. (Ann Dermatol 26(2) 236∼240, 2014)
