is a rare etiology of serious hand infection with only 2 cases having been reported in literature to date to our knowledge. We describe the case of a 58-year-old woman with persistent swelling and stiffness in her right index finger. Advanced imaging studies in addition to serial surgical debridement with tissue cultures helped to confirm the diagnosis of flexor tenosynovitis caused by . In this case report, we highlight the clinical evaluation, operative treatment, and antimicrobial therapy leading to the successful care of this disease presentation. Due to its rarity and potential to cause substantial hand infection, should be included in the differential diagnosis as the cause for chronic flexor tenosynovitis to appropriately minimize morbidity.
是严重手部感染的罕见病因，据我们所知，迄今为止文献中仅报道过2例。我们描述了一名58岁女性的病例，她的右手食指持续肿胀和僵硬。除了进行系列手术清创及组织培养外，先进的影像学检查有助于确诊由……引起的屈指肌腱腱鞘炎。在本病例报告中，我们重点介绍了导致成功治疗该疾病表现的临床评估、手术治疗和抗菌治疗。由于其罕见性以及可能导致严重的手部感染，在鉴别诊断慢性屈指肌腱腱鞘炎的病因时应将其纳入，以适当降低发病率。
