title: Disseminated Mycobacterium chelonae infection presenting as progressive multifocal osteomyelitis: Report of two cases and a review of the literature.
abstract: Two long term hospitalized patients developed disseminated infections caused by Mycobacterium chelonae, subspecies chelonae, over an eight-month period. In both cases, the disease was characterized by cutaneous and osseous involvement. The infections were indolent and marked by progressive bony destruction. These cases and a review of the literature are presented.
