Erysipeloid, a bacterial skin infection, can occur after handling contaminated animal products. This case highlights successful penicillin treatment for a fisherman with erysipeloid on their hand.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Dermatology
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Erysipeloid is an acute bacterial infection caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae.
  • It typically affects individuals with occupational exposure to meat or animal products.
  • Traumatized skin serves as the entry point for the gram-positive bacillus.

Observation:

  • A 50-year-old female angler presented with a reddish, tender patch on her left hand.
  • The lesion appeared one week after sustaining an injury while preparing fish.
  • The clinical presentation was consistent with erysipeloid infection.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with erysipeloid infection.
  • Treatment involved oral penicillin V at a dosage of 1,500,000 IU three times daily for seven days.
