Abstract EN
Mycobacterium chelonae is a nontuberculosis mycobacteria which is rapidly growing nonpigmented pathogen.
Local cutaneous diseases, osteomyelitis, joint injection, and ocular diseases (keratitis or corneal ulcers) may ocular after trauma.
Mycobacterium chelonae is a rare cause of isolated lymphadenitis.
Disseminated disease, usually with disseminated skin and soft tissue lesions, occurs almost exclusively in the setting of immunosuppression, especially AIDS.
Herein, we report a case of disseminated mycobacterium chelonae infection in an apparently immunocompetent girl.
We believe this is the first report of its kind from the I.R.
of Iran.
