T-cell subpopulation and T-cell stimulation tests did not show signs of
cellular immunodeficiency. Antibiotic regimen was changed to flucloxacillin.
To the Editor: Mycobacterium shigaense is a novel, slow-growing, scotochromogenic mycobacterium (1), initially reported in 2012 as an opportunistic pathogen isolated from skin biopsy samples from a patient with a history of Hodgkin disease and severe cellular immunodeficiency. We describe the identification of this species in a chronic cutaneous infection in an immunocompetent woman.
nov., a novel slowly growing scotochromogenic mycobacterium that produced nodules in an erythroderma patient with severe cellular immunodeficiency and a history of Hodgkin's disease.
This raised the suspicion of
cellular immunodeficiency. Anti-HIV test was found negative.
Pneumocystic Carini pneumonia and mucosal candidiasis in previously healthy homosexual men: evidence of a new acquired
cellular immunodeficiency N.
It appears almost exclusively among people with
cellular immunodeficiency, and it can occur with revaccination of people who have become immunosuppressed since their primary vaccination.

Although severe
cellular immunodeficiency can often facilitate the development of many infections, only 4 clinical cases of TB in patients undergoing HCV antiviral therapy have been described in the literature (6-8), and only 1 of these was clearly described as a TB reactivation (7).
Pecher and Funchs suggested that patients with lacaziosis have a cellular immunodeficiency (5).
However, since Jorge Lobo disease is restricted to specific areas of the world and the number of AIDS cases is increasing, especially in Latin America, a possible correlation between HIV infection and Jorge Lobo disease should be considered because of the associated cellular immunodeficiency.
