  • Title: Disseminated Mycobacterium marinum infection in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis receiving infliximab therapy.
    Author: Danko JR, Gilliland WR, Miller RS, Decker CF.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2009; 41(4):252-5. PubMed ID: 19266397.
    Abstract:
    Tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors are important adjunctive therapies for rheumatologic diseases. These agents increase the risk for granulomatous disease. We present a case of a woman with severe rheumatoid arthritis on infliximab who developed multiple nodular skin lesions. Biopsies grew Mycobacterium marinum. New lesions developed through therapy, necessitating surgical debulking.
