Abstract
.LI)~ohartrriitrn trd~crrulosis and certain atypical niycobacteria may cause a spectrum of cutaneous disease and m,iy sometimes pose difficult diagnostic problems (Table 1). This is especially true in irrimunocompromised patients, where even niycobacteria not previously thought to c u s e disease niay d o so. A high index of suspicion is required and unusual skin lesions presenting in these circ~unst~inces should always be biopsied and sent for mycobacterial culture and staining and PCR where possible.
