  • Title: Mycobacterium xenopi--an unusual presentation as tenosynovitis of the wrist in an immunocompetent patient.
    Author: Coombes GM, Teh LS, Denton J, Johnson AS, Jones AK.
    Journal: Br J Rheumatol; 1996 Oct; 35(10):1008-10. PubMed ID: 8883442.
    Abstract:
    Mycobacterium xenopi is an atypical acid-fast bacillus which may colonize tap water supplies. It typically causes pulmonary infection, particularly in patients with pre-existing lung damage, and non-pulmonary involvement is rare. We describe the first reported case of tenosynovitis due to this organism in an immunocompetent male patient.
