Study Notes
Characteristics of Infection
- Appears as lumpy skin lesions that resemble moles
- Forms sulfur granules and pus-filled drainage
- Can affect the hands and feet
Mode of Infection
- Enters the body through skin breaks or cuts
- Can occur while gardening or handling contaminated soil
- Moves through the lymphatics, causing lesions along the way
Opportunistic Pathogen
- Not a primary pathogen, but takes advantage of a compromised immune system
- Can infect people who have underlying health issues or are immunocompromised
- Can also infect people with intrauterine devices or other medical devices
Disease Association
- Associated with pulmonary infections and mycobacterial diseases such as TB and leprosy
- Can cause fibrotic tissue and tissue destruction
- Can lead to bloodstream infections and systemic disease in immunocompetent children (3.90%)
