The present report describes the first known case of an otherwise healthy child who developed a soft tissue infection due to Mycobacterium senegalense - a pathogen usually found in east Africa that is responsible for infecting various animals. The patient presented with nonhealing wounds after sustaining facial lacerations from the shattered glass of a fish tank. The patient responded well to scar revision and antibiotics, with no subsequent relapse.
本报告描述了首例已知病例,一名原本健康的儿童因感染塞内加尔分枝杆菌(一种通常在东非发现的病原体,可感染多种动物)而患上软组织感染。该患者面部被鱼缸玻璃碎片划伤后出现伤口不愈,随后出现该感染。患者经瘢痕修整和抗生素治疗后反应良好,无后续复发。
