RESUMO
Mycobacterium marinum(M. marinum ), a slow-growing bacterium in freshwater and seawater, can cause cutanous and extracutaneous infections. A fisher-woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) presented with chronic polymorphic rashes in a lymphangitic pattern was initially misdiagnosed as sporotrichosis. The final diagnosis of M. marinum and Candida dubliniensis co-infection was confirmed based on the skin histopathology, pustule culture, MetaCAP sequencing and effective antibiotic combination treatments.
