Abstract
Cutaneous infections due to M. fortuitum are rare and secondary to iatrogenic skin wounds. The clinical appearance is not specific, accounting for delayed diagnosis. Treatment is difficult and there is no consensus. According to our experience, surgical treatment is essential whereas the efficacy of antibiotics, even involving multiple agents, seems more doubtful.
