Atypical Mycobacteria of Mammary Secretion Identified in the Primary Care Level. A Six-Case Report

Abstract

Atypical mycobacteria presented in six patients, from the west of Mexico, who had chronic mammary secretion was typified by pcr (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technique, the study was carried out from 2013 to 2015. It is important to point out that patients presented data of having chronic infections characterized by mammary secretion, but without nodulation, deformations or increase of temperature in the area or axillary or supraclavicular lymphadenopathy. The report of mammal atypical Mycobacteria is extremely uncommon, so we should warn patients with chronic mastitis to make a proper check-up.
