ABSTRACT

Mycobacterium chelonae is a rapidly growing mycobacterium. In inmunocompetent host cutaneous infection is ussualy isolated, localized and associated with trauma. Two inmunocompetent sisters who consulted because of multiple skin lesion localized in legs and thigs associated to depilation are reported. The culture of skin lesion showed M. chelonae.
