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.
人类感染海分枝杆菌主要是在受伤皮肤接触受污染的水后发生肉芽肿性感染。它通常局限于皮肤和软组织。在免疫功能正常的患者中，累及其他器官的播散性疾病很少见。在此，我们报告一例播散性海分枝杆菌感染病例，该病例不仅累及皮肤组织，还累及一名患有未控制糖尿病且有类固醇注射史的男性患者的肺部，该患者受雇于一家深水渔业公司。
