Abstract:
Mycobacterium marinum infection developed in the nostril of an immunocompetent host whose only risk factors were infrequent swimming and cleaning of a small fish bowl on a single occasion. The lesion relapsed after 2 surgical excisions but resolved slowly with a 9-month course of trimethoprim/sulfa therapy.
