Identification of Mycobacterium marinum in subcutaneous abscesses of an infected patient's foot
In many parts of the developing world, M. marinum infections may remain undiagnosed due to limited symptoms, as well as the lack of medical services and laboratory facilities. Key diagnostic elements for M. marinum infections include a high index of suspicion raised by chronic lesions, poor response to conventional treatments, a properly obtained exposure history, culture, and microorganism identification. This study provides some references and suggestions for the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of M. marinum infection.
