Necrotizing osteomyelitis in a man with disseminated Mycobacterium chelonae infection

Cases of disseminated nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection are difficult to treat. We encountered an elderly man with disseminated Mycobacterium chelonae infection. The clinical evaluation and treatment of patients with this type of systemic infection pose unique challenges. Disseminated NTM...
