Abstract
PALMERO, Domingo J.; AMBROGGI, Marta G. and POGGI, Susana E.. Mastitis due to Mycobacterium fortuitum in an HIV negative patient. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2004, vol.64, n.6, pp.529-532. ISSN 0025-7680.
A case of a 39 year old HIV negative female patient with a Mycobacterium fortuitum mastitis without previous pathogenic history is reported. She was treated on the bases of drug-susceptibility testing and bibliographic empirical evidence with kanamycin, doxicicline, ciprofloxacin and trimetoprim-sulfametoxazol. A complete remission of her lesions was obtained after 15 months of treatment. Lesions due to this rapidly growing mycobacterium, diagnosis and treatment are commented.
