    • Microbiology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Fish tank granuloma is a skin infection caused by Mycobacterium marinum.
    • Exposure typically occurs through handling contaminated aquarium water or fish.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a lesional biopsy indicative of fish tank granuloma.
    • The biopsy sample was cultured on Löwenstein's medium.

    Findings:

    • Mycobacterium marinum was successfully identified from the lesional biopsy.
    • The patient received cotrimoxazole for treatment.

    Implications:

    • This case demonstrates the successful treatment of Mycobacterium marinum infection with cotrimoxazole.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy are crucial for managing fish tank granuloma.
