Polymorphic Clinical and Pathological Presentation of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria: A Case Series
Case Reports in Dermatological Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.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 ...
