  • Title: Mycobacterium marinum with associated bursitis.
    Author: Saadatmand B, Poulton JK, Kauffman CL.
    Journal: J Cutan Med Surg; 1999 Apr; 3(4):218-20. PubMed ID: 10366400.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium marinum infections have been reported for over 50 years, mostly in association with trauma in the setting of water exposure. OBJECTIVE: The differential diagnosis for nodules in a sporotrichoid distribution with simultaneous bursitis is discussed. Mycobacterium marinum treatment regimens for skin and joint involvement are reviewed. METHODS: Mycobacterium marinum was identified by skin tissue culture with Lowenstein-Jensen medium at 32 degrees C. Histopathologic findings support mycobacterial infection. RESULTS: Bursitis and nodules resolved in the first 2 months of a 6-month course of minocycline treatment. CONCLUSION: Bursitis is an extremely rare but significant complication of M. marinum.
