ABSTRACT

Mycobacterium marinum (MM) is an atypical mycobacteria. MM can affect different fish species. Humans can be infected by direct contact with fish or contaminated water. Mycobacterium Marinum infections are an emerging problem related to “fish tank hobby”.
Eight cases of cutaneous infection with Mycobacterium marinum were studied in two medical center in Argentina from 1990 to 2007. We describe an atypical clinical presentation, to our knowledge not previously reported.
