Disseminated Mycobacterium marinum skin infection due to chronic lymphedema in an immunocompetent patient. Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft = Journal of the German Society of Dermatology : JDDG, 2018, Volume: 16, Issue:5 Topics: Biopsy; Chronic Disease; Clarithromycin; Dermis; Diagnosis, Differential; Doxycycline; Drug Therapy, Combination; Epidermis; Female; Humans; Immunocompetence; Leg Dermatoses; Lymphedema; Middle Aged; Mycobacterium Infections, Nontuberculous; Rifampin	2018
Mycobacterium marinum: chronic and extensive infections of the lower limbs in south Pacific islanders. The Australasian journal of dermatology, 1998, Volume: 39, Issue:3 We report three adult cases of very chronic, extensive infection of the lower limbs due to Mycobacterium marinum. The patients were from South Pacific islands and, clinically, the widespread warty plaques resembled chromomycosis. One was associated with severe lymphoedema. All three patients gave a history of at least 20 years duration. The patients were otherwise well and not immunologically compromised. In all cases, the organism was identified on tissue cultures and was not seen on histopathology. The mycobacteria were sensitive to most antibiotics tested in vitro. The patients were treated with a combination of rifampicin and cotrimoxazole with good results. Topics: Adult; Aged; Anti-Bacterial Agents; Antibiotics, Antitubercular; Chromoblastomycosis; Chronic Disease; Culture Techniques; Diagnosis, Differential; Female; Follow-Up Studies; Humans; Leg Dermatoses; Lymphedema; Male; Mycobacterium Infections, Nontuberculous; Mycobacterium marinum; Pacific Islands; Rifampin; Time Factors; Treatment Outcome; Trimethoprim, Sulfamethoxazole Drug Combination	1998
