Prototheca wickerhamii rarely causes infections, but this study details the first known case of Prototheca tenosynovitis. This unusual algae-like organism infection occurred after carpal tunnel surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Infections

Background:

  • Prototheca wickerhamii is an uncommon, algae-like microorganism.
  • It is rarely associated with human infections, typically limited to skin and soft tissues.

Observation:

  • A patient developed tenosynovitis following median nerve release surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • The infection was caused by Prototheca wickerhamii, a novel finding for this condition.

Findings:

  • The study details the clinical presentation, surgical findings, histopathology, and microbiology of this rare infection.
  • Successful treatment strategies for Prototheca tenosynovitis are discussed.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known spectrum of Prototheca wickerhamii infections.
