  • Microbiology
  • Hand Surgery

Background:

  • Atypical mycobacteria are significant causes of hand infections.
  • Mycobacterium marinum is the most common pathogen, but other species can also cause infection.
  • Tenosynovitis is a serious infection affecting the tendon sheath.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of tenosynovitis caused by Mycobacterium chelonei.
  • Mycobacterium chelonei is an atypical mycobacterium.
  • The patient presented with symptoms indicative of tenosynovitis.

Findings:

  • Mycobacterium chelonei tenosynovitis is a rare clinical presentation.
  • Mycobacterium chelonei exhibits resistance to many standard antituberculosis drugs.
  • Accurate identification of the causative Mycobacterium species is essential for effective treatment.

Implications:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis of Mycobacterium chelonei infection is critical.
  • Treatment requires a combination of surgical debridement and prolonged antibiotic therapy.
  • Antimicrobial susceptibility testing guides the selection of appropriate chemotherapy to overcome drug resistance.
