Mycobacterium kansasii infection with multiple cutaneous lesions. 1987

C W Hanke, and R K Temofeew, and S L Slama

Mycobacterium kansasii infections of the skin are rarely seen and present variable clinical and histopathologic features. Laboratory identification of the organism is essential for proper diagnosis and selection of appropriate antimycobacterial medications. Antituberculous drugs are the standard treatment; however, therapy with tetracycline or minocycline is a provocative alternative.
