Cutaneous Opportunistic Mycobacterial and Fungal Infections in Adult-Onset Immunodeficiency Due to Anti-Interferon-Gamma Autoantibodies—Decoding Skin Involvement Patterns
Cutaneous lesions involving the neck area and lymphadenopathy are clinical clues that suggest cutaneous <i>Mycobacterium</i> OIs. Nevertheless, integration of clinical features with laboratory findings enables the development of a predictive model that can effectively differentiate between cutaneous mycobacterial and fungal infections. This predictive model may aid in selecting appropriate empirical antimicrobial therapy, particularly when microbiological confirmation is pending or inconclusive despite high clinical suspicion.
