Mycobacterium haemophilum is a rarely encountered pathogen first described in 1978 when it was identified as the cause of cutaneous ulcerating lesions in a 51 year - old Israeli woman with Hodgkin disease. Mycobacterium haemophilum is fastidious, grows slowly, and requires a lower incubation temperature for growth than most other mycobacteria. Isolation of M. haemophilum also requires iron - supplemented medium. Because of these requirements, M. haemophilum would not be isolated using standard isolation techniques for tubercle bacilli. Failure to recognize these microbiologic considerations probably has led to under - reporting of M. haemophilum infections. We describe the clinical and epidemiologic features of 13 persons identified in the investigation and compare the findings in these patients with those reported in other cases.
