Cutaneous infection due to mycobacterium szulgai.
A patient on long term corticosteroid therapy for sarcoidosis developed a cutaneous infection due to Mycobacterium szulgai. No evidence of visceral infection with the organism was found during life or at autopsy. The spread of the infection to multiple skin sites probably occurred by autoinoculation.
