ABSTRACT
Mycobacterium chelonae is a rapidly growing organism that has been found in water, soil, and dust. Although it can colonize healthy persons without sequelae, it can also cause skin and soft tissue infections, pulmonary infections and other sequelaes and rarely, disseminated disease in immunocompromised patients. But, infections due to rapidly growing mycobacteria are probably markedly underdiagnosed and these organisms are capable of causing a wide spectrum of clinical disease. We experienced a case of wound infection with M. chelonae after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy and report with review of literatures.
