Mycobacterium chelonae Is an Ubiquitous Atypical Mycobacterium
The type of cutaneous infection varies mainly according to the patient's immune status, and the disseminated form is mostly found in the context of immunosuppression. We report the case of a 62-year-old male who was under long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy and presented with a 7-month history of multiple painless cutaneous lesions at various stages of development: papules, nodules, pustu...

Sixty-five years after Turing first revealed the potential of systems with local activation and long-range inhibition to generate pattern, we have only recently begun to identify the biological elements that operate at many scales to generate periodic patterns in nature. In this Primer, we first review the theoretical framework provided by Turing, Meinhardt, and others that suggests how periodi...
متن کاملIatrogenic Mycobacterium simiae Skin Infection in an Immunocompetent Patient
Hemolytic uremic syndrome occurs in approximately 8% of children and an unknown proportion of adults infected with E. coli O157 and can be fatal without hemodialysis. The high death rate of infants during this outbreak was linked to the lack of treatment (mainly hemodialysis) at the beginning of the epidemic. Obviously, more work is needed to better define the incidence and epidemiology of E. c...
متن کاملTuberculosis-like peritonitis due to an atypical Mycobacterium infection in a Japanese woman.
It is not known whether atypical Mycobacterium (AM) causes peritonitis in humans. We described a case of tuberculosis-like peritonitis caused by an AM. Genetic analysis of the biopsy specimens suggested an AM infection. Thus, we concluded that peritonitis in humans can be caused by some AM species as well as by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
متن کاملLessons Learnt from an Atypical Mycobacterium Infection Post-Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Infections following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are rare, with no previous reports citing Mycobacterium abscessus as the culprit pathogen. A 22-year-old man presented twice over three years with a painful discharging sinus over his right tibia tunnel site necessitating repeated arthroscopy and washout, months of antibiotic therapy, and ultimately culminating in the removal of the...
