ABSTRACT

Atypical mycobacterias are a group of free life, opportunistic and environmental bacterias, with a wide geographical distribution. It affects humans, domestic and wild animals, fish and birds causing from superficial skin infections to systemic dissemination. We present a 35 year-old male with an atypical sporotrichosis-like mycobacteriosis in the upper limb due to M. abscessus.
