Abstract
We describe a case of Mycobacterium avium infection of the skin in a 51-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus. Two lesions were treated with a combination of oral tetracycline or minocycline and hyperthermia using a portable warmer. One subsequently healed, leaving an atrophic scar, but the other lesion persisted, and was eventually excised.
