Three cases of cutaneous Mycobacterium marinum infection are described. All these patients had most probably been infected from home aquariums. In one of the patients, M. marinum was isolated by culturing a biopsy specimen from a lesion. Clinical remission was achieved by means of antituberculous triple therapy, trimethoprim-sulfonamide, and no treatment, respectively.
