“…So far, 5 cases of confirmed M. marinum infection with lung involvement have been reported in the literature, including this case ( Table 1 ). Among them, disseminated M. marinum infection with pulmonary involvement occurred in a very severely immunocompromised patient, who expired during the treatment [ 7 ]. On the contrary, isolated lung involvement without cutaneous lesions have been reported in 3 immunocompetent hosts.…”

Mycobacterium marinum infection in humans occurs mainly as a granulomatous infection after exposure of traumatized skin to contaminated water. It is usually confined to the skin and soft tissue. Disseminated disease involving other organs rarely occurs in immunocompetent patients. Here, we report a case of disseminated M. marinum infection involving not only the cutaneous tissue, but also the lung of a male patient with uncontrolled diabetes and a previous history of steroid injection who was employed by a deep-water fishery.

“…Invasive infections such as tenosynovitis, arthritis, and osteomyelitis occasionally occur [ 6 ]. A few cases of disseminated infection of the lung by M. marinum have been reported in severely immunocompromised patients [ 7 8 ].…”

“…Local spread may occasionally result in tenosynovitis, arthritis, or osteomyelitis (10), particularly after penetrating injury or surgery. Systemic involvement has been reported in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (11), and disseminated skin lesions, osteomyelitis, and bacteremia were reported in a child with severe combined im- munodeficiency (8). When acquired from fish tanks, infection is most commonly seen on the dominant hands of young or middle-aged men (4,5).…”

Fish Tank Granuloma in a 14‐Month‐Old Girl

A 14-month-old girl developed a persistent ulcerated nodule on her right lower leg associated with further nodules along the thigh. A clinical diagnosis of fish tank granuloma was suspected because of tropical fish tanks at home. The diagnosis was confirmed when Mycobacterium marinum was isolated from low-temperature culture of skin tissue. The child made a complete recovery following treatment with rifampicin for 6 months despite in vitro sensitivity tests reporting resistance. M. marinum infection is uncommon in children, but the diagnosis should be considered in children presenting with chronic skin lesions spreading in a sporotrichoid pattern.

“…In alcuni casi, gli elementi nodulari proliferano lungo la via di drenaggio dei vasi linfatici, con una distribuzione di tipo sporotricoide. Le forme extracutanee, quali tenosinoviti, osteomieliti, artriti, sono meno comuni; rare forme disseminate sono state descritte per lo più in pazienti immunocompromessi (6,7,19).…”

Isolation, identification and antimicrobial susceptibilty of two strains of Mycobacterium marinum from fish tank granuloma Key Word: Mycobacterium marinum, fish tank granuloma, drug-sucepibility testing SUMMARY Mycobacterium marinum is an emerging pathogen responsible for cutaneous infections related to the handling of domestic aquariums.Two distinct strains of M. marinum have been isolated from as many cases of fish tank granuloma. Despite the ability of both strains to grow at 37° C, the detection of their growth by the automated BACTEC 9000MB system, was delayed or not happened at all in comparison with the growth of mycobacterium culture in the Löwenstein-Jensen medium. The different antibiotic susceptibility pattern showed by M. marinum in several studies, required to perform suscepibility testing of two clinical isolates. Both strains were resistant to isoniazid, imipenem, cefoxitine, susceptible to rifampicin, ethambutol, clarithromycin, ciprofloxacin and moderately susceptible to doxycycline.
