Abstract:
A 48-year-old previously healthy white man had progressive painful swelling of his proximal index finger and the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. A biopsy revealed Mycobacterium terrae septic arthritis and osteomyelitis. Six months of therapy with isoniazid, rifampin, and ethambutol were not accompanied by any improvement and amputation was necessary.
