Osteomyelitis and synovitis produced by Mycobacterium marinum in a fisherman.

Department of Pathology, Crozer-Chester Medical Center, Upland, Pennsylvania 19013.

ABSTRACT

We report a case of osteomyelitis and synovitis produced by Mycobacterium marinum in the left index finger of a fisherman. A combination of surgical intervention and antimicrobial therapy with minocycline, rifampin, and ethambutol was efficacious.
