Infections caused by Mycobacterium haemophilum in immunocompetent patients are unusual. M. haemophilum have been associated with cervicofacial lymphadenitis in children, but inguinal infections have not yet been described. We present a case of an inguinal lymphadenitis caused by M. haemophilum in an immunocompetent girl.
