    Journal: J Dermatol; 2002 Dec; 29(12):810-1. PubMed ID: 12532049.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of atypical mycobacterial dermal infection caused by M. marinum, which was effectively treated with oral administration of minocycline and local hyperthermic treatment using chemical pocket warmers. A daily oral dose of 200 mg of minocycline was given, and local hyperthermic treatment was applied every evening for 5-6 hours with a disposable chemical pocket warmer. After 2.5 months of therapy, the lesion healed completely with scar formation. At 24 months after the completion of treatments, there is no sign of recurrence.
