ABSTRACT
Mycobacterium marinum infection in humans occurs mainly as a granulomatous infection after exposure of traumatized skin to contaminated water. It is usually confined to the skin and soft tissue. Disseminated disease involving other organs rarely occurs in immunocompetent patients. Here, we report a case of disseminated M. marinum infection involving not only the cutaneous tissue, but also the lung of a male patient with uncontrolled diabetes and a previous history of steroid injection who was employed by a deep-water fishery.
