Painful skin lesions in a patient with Crohn’s disease
We report on a patient with Crohn’s disease who developed an extensive Mycobacterium marinum infection under combined immunosuppression. M. marinum infection was initially neither considered nor screened for, leading to considerable disease progression. We believe this patient report helps to raise awareness of a rare but important opportunistic infection.
