title: Nontuberculous mycobacterial cutaneous infections: an updated review.
abstract: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) cause cutaneous infections more commonly than Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and the incidence of infection with these organisms is increasing with the use of immunosuppressive agents. Diagnosis of NTM cutaneous infections is not always straightforward. Therefore, a high index of clinical suspicion is needed to make a diagnosis of NTM cutaneous infection.
