| description |
Skin infections by Mycobacterium marinum are quite rare in our
environment and, therefore, little studied. The majority of the lesions appear
three weeks after traumas in aquariums, beaches and fish tanks. Lymph node
drainage and systematization of the disease are rare and most lesions disappear
in about three years. This case aims to show the effectiveness of the treatment
used (lymecycline 150 mg/orally/day). This medication may be a new therapeutic
option for the treatment of Mycobacterium marinum. |
