The time frame since exposure to the causative organism is an important feature in the diagnostic process. For example, pyodermas and cutaneous larva migrans present a few days after contact with the causative agents, whereas leishmaniasis, cutaneous tuberculosis, atypical mycobacterial diseases (swimming pool granulomas) and tropical mycosis take weeks to months to appear. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
