Multifocal Keloids Associated with Mycobacterium fortuitum following Intralesional Steroid Therapy

We report a case of subcutaneous abscess formation with Mycobacterium fortuitum following intralesional steroid injection into multifocal keloids. A high index of suspicion of atypical mycobacteria infection is needed in patients with a history of skin and soft tissue infections, in particular late-...
