Abstract
Atypical mycobacterium osteomyelitis is rare. An 81 year old woman has been found to have an osteomyelitis of the upper end of the fibula due to mycobacterium avium complex. The occurrence may be related to advanced age and chronic respiratory disease. Treatment by surgery and drugs has been successful over two years of follow-up.Entities:
