We report a 65-year-old man with tenosynovitis of the wrist and finger caused by Mycobacterium intracellulare. The diagnosis was made after subsequent recurrence, when a specimen of synovial fluid was subjected to specific polymerase chain reaction and mycobacterial culture. Synovectomy and susceptibility-guided antituberculous therapy permitted complete healing of tenosynovitis.
我们报告了一名65岁男性,患有由胞内分枝杆菌引起的手腕和手指腱鞘炎。在随后复发时,对滑膜液标本进行了特异性聚合酶链反应和分枝杆菌培养后才做出诊断。滑膜切除术和药敏指导下的抗结核治疗使腱鞘炎完全愈合。
