    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology
    • Orthopedic Surgery

    Background:

    • Mycobacterium marinum is an atypical bacterium known for causing infections in aquatic environments.
    • Cutaneous infections are the most common presentation, often associated with fish tank or aquarium exposure.
    • Involvement of deeper structures like tendon sheaths and joints is less frequent but clinically significant.

    Observation:

    • A case of flexor tendon sheath and proximal interphalangeal joint infection by Mycobacterium marinum is presented.
    • The clinical presentation and diagnostic findings are detailed.
    • The unusual localization of the infection is highlighted.

    Findings:

    • The study delineates the characteristic features of this specific Mycobacterium marinum infection.
