Skin and soft tissue infections that usually follow minor traumatic events or surgical procedures are caused by a wide spectrum of bacteria. We describe a soft tissue infection caused by a Mycobacterium chelonae in an immunocompetent patient who underwent liposculpture and lipofilling of the gluteal-trochanteric region, emphasizing the importance of clinical suspicion and effective treatment of infection.

Abstract
Skin and soft tissue infections that usually follow minor traumatic events or surgical procedures are caused by a wide spectrum of bacteria. We describe a soft tissue infection caused by a Mycobacterium chelonae in an immunocompetent patient who underwent liposculpture and lipofilling of the gluteal-trochanteric region, emphasizing the importance of clinical suspicion and effective treatment of infection.File in questo prodotto:
