The presence of mycobacteria was confirmed with tissue culture and also the detection of mycobacterial heat shock protein 65 (hsp65) DNA in the biopsy specimen. The eruption resolved after treatment with amikacin and clarithromycin. Lupus vulgaris-like lesions might be included in the clinical spectrum of infections caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria.[SDGs]SDG3amikacin; bacterial DNA; bacterial protein; clarithromycin; heat shock protein 65; adult; article; bacterial growth; bacterium detection; case report; female; human; lupus vulgaris; mycobacteriosis; Mycobacterium fortuitum; priority journal; rash; skin biopsy; skin defect; spectrum; tissue culture; Diagnosis, Differential; Facial Dermatoses; Female; Humans; Lupus; Middle Aged; Mycobacterium fortuitum; Mycobacterium Infections, Atypical; Skin Diseases, Bacterialjournal article10.1046/j.1365-2133.2002.04791.x121002042-s2.0-0036068880
