Title: Mycobacterium intracellulare as a cause of a recurrent granulomatous tenosynovitis of the hand. Author: Lefèvre P, Gilot P, Godiscal H, Content J, Fauville-Dufaux M. Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2000 Oct; 38(2):127-9. PubMed ID: 11035246. Abstract: We report a case of recurrent granulomatous tenosynovitis with M. intracellulare in a 55-year-old HIV negative diabetic woman. Identification of the causative agent further than belonging to the M. avium-intracellulare complex is provided by specific PCR-amplification of genomic DNA and sequencing of an hypervariable region within its 16S RNA gene. Sixteen months antibiotic regimen of rifabutin and clarithromycin led to a complete resolution of the tenosynovitis.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
