[Tenosynovitis of the hand due to Mycobacterium marinum. Apropos of a case]. 1985

J Y Alnot, and O Badelon, and M Grossin, and B Cricks, and P Bourgeois

The authors report one case of Mycobacterium marinum of the deep structures of the hand and review the literature on the subject. The symptoms are not specific: biopsy and culture are essential for diagnosis. As chemotherapy does not seem to be of help, wide surgical incision is the appropriate treatment.
