  • Title: Mycobacterium kanasii flexor tenosynovitis of the finger.
    Author: Jing SS, Teare L, Iwuagwu F.
    Journal: Hand Surg; 2014; 19(2):249-51. PubMed ID: 24875513.
    Abstract:
    We report an extreme case of Mycobacterium kanasii flexor tenosynovitis with flexor tendon rupture in a healthy 65-year-old left-hand dominant Caucasian housewife. This case highlights the diagnostic conundrum of atypical mycobacteria infections due to their insidious presentation, the need for a high index of suspicion to prevent worsening or delaying the diagnosis from inappropriate steroid use and that these infections can occur in otherwise healthy individuals.
