| Abstract: | Oculofacial lesions caused by infections with nontuberculous mycobacterial organisms are unusual, but infections with Mycobacterium haemophilum species in immunocompetent patients have not yet been described. We present a case of an oculofacial lesion in a girl as a result of a Mycobacterium haemophilum infection. |
