  • Title: Mycobacterium xenopi arthritis.
    Author: Yuen K, Fam AG, Simor A.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1998 May; 25(5):1016-8. PubMed ID: 9598912.
    Abstract:
    Osteoarticular Mycobacterium xenopi infections are very rare. We describe a patient with dermatomyositis and isolated shoulder arthritis due to M. xenopi. The diagnosis was delayed for 7 months; only 2 of 5 interval joint aspirates grew M. xenopi. The infection responded well to triple antituberculous therapy.
