    In addition, although recent studies have emphasized the influence of asymptomatic infection with environmental nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), such as Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), on the tuberculin skin test [ 11 ], detailed data have not been [academic.oup.com]

    Case presentation A 51 year-old male patient, who worked as administrative assistant, reported an asymptomatic lesion on the fifth right finger with five years of evolution. The lesion initially presented as small papules, followed by scaling. [scielo.br]

    Results of gram stain and routine culture from biopsy of skin lesions in both blood agar and McConckey agar were negative. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Persons with open skin lesions or immunosuppression should avoid cutaneous contact with fish tanks. [academic.oup.com]

    Treatment typically is continued for one to two months after resolution of skin lesions. [aafp.org]

    Surgical removal of infected lymph nodes and aggressive debridement of infected skin lesions is sometimes necessary. In severe cases, skin grafts may be necessary to repair the surgical wound. [dermnetnz.org]

  • Papule

    About 2 to 8 weeks after inoculation, a solitary papule forms that often progresses to a granulomatous nodule or multiple papules. [consultant360.com]

    The disease begins as a violaceous papule or nodule ( 7, 18 ). It can also be presented as a psoriasiform or verrucous plaque, usually on the hands, feet, elbows or knees, at the site of trauma, about 2 to 3 weeks after inoculation ( 7, 18 ). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    The main symptom is a reddish bump ( papule ) that slowly grows into a purplish and painful nodule. The elbows, fingers, and back of the hands are the most commonly affected body parts. The knees and legs are less commonly affected. [medlineplus.gov]

    Lesions present as firm, painless, subcutaneous nodules that gradually enlarge and suppurate, then form ulcers and sinus tracts in overlying skin. Typical ulcers have undermined edges and a floor of granulation tissue. [patient.info]

    Besides, cutaneous lesions are generally nonspecific and are often initially misdiagnosed as pyoderma, furunculosis, or even sporotrichosis [20] – [22]. [journals.plos.org]

  • Skin Ulcer

    Diagnostic assessment For diagnostic testing, a small sample of one of the patient’s skin ulcers was obtained and sent for histopathologic analysis; the granulomas confirmed the diagnosis of M. marinum. [medcraveonline.com]

Obtaining a complete and thorough history from the patient is important, because clues from the patient’s history prompt the workup and subsequent treatment for the rare skin disease. [aocd.org]
