Title: Recurrent granulomatous tenosynovitis of the wrist and finger caused by Mycobacterium intracellulare: a case report. Author: Akahane T, Nakatsuchi Y, Tateiwa Y. Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2006 Sep; 56(1):99-101. PubMed ID: 16650959. Abstract: We report a 65-year-old man with tenosynovitis of the wrist and finger caused by Mycobacterium intracellulare. The diagnosis was made after subsequent recurrence, when a specimen of synovial fluid was subjected to specific polymerase chain reaction and mycobacterial culture. Synovectomy and susceptibility-guided antituberculous therapy permitted complete healing of tenosynovitis.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
