Polymorphic Clinical and Pathological Presentation of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria: A Case Series
Background Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a group of mycobacteria widely distributed in the environment. They may cause cutaneous infections in immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts. Clinical presentations can be significantly heterogeneous and are not species‐specific; moreover, histological features can vary, probably depending on host ...
