“…As described in the three reported clinical cases, this kind of infection must be considered when key diagnostic elements are present. A high index of suspicion is sustained by the combination of some factors such as a cutaneous lesion with poor response to conventional antibiotic treatments and a history of aquatic exposure (mainly fish farmers and aquarium enthusiasts) [8][9][10].…”

“…Regarding treatment, as there are no comparative trials of different treatment regimens and there is no consensus for an adequate duration of therapy, the statement endorsed by the Infectious Diseases Society of America/American Thoracic Society (IDSA/ATS) regarding diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of nontuberculous mycobacterial diseases from 2007 [ 4 ] is useful for guiding treatment choices. Although spontaneous remission without treatment has been reported in immunocompetent individuals with small lesions, usually combination antibiotic treatment is needed for complete resolution of lesions [ 8 , 10 ]. A reasonable approach is to treat with two active agents until the lesions heal and then for one or two additional months, typically for a three to four-month total period of treatment guided mainly by clinical response and considering both the extension and severity of the infection and the presence of underlying disorders [ 3 , 4 , 8 ].…”

“…Mycobacterium marinum is a nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) that lives in fresh or salt water with worldwide distribution. 1 It causes infections in fish and can also cause cutaneous infections in humans. 2 Human infection follows contact with fish or contaminated water and is often described as "swimming pool granuloma" or "fish tank granuloma".…”

“…Therefore, diagnosis of M. marinum infection remains a challenge, with a considerable time delay between onset of symptoms and diagnosis. 1 Recent advances in molecular methods based on PCR technique allow rapid detection of mycobacteria species directly in the clinical sample. However, in extra-pulmonary specimens, there is a lack of sensitivity of conventional PCR techniques as they are mostly paucibacillary in nature.…”
