Abstract

Abstract: A 50-year-old male presented with red-brown plaques and nodules on the left upper arm for 5 years after being scratched by a tree branch. The disease has been misdiagnosed many times and has been prolonged. The patient was diagnosed as Mycobacterium marinum infection through pathology and high flow sequencing of MetaCAP pathogenic microbial nucleic acid. After 4 months of treatment with clarithromycin, rifampicin and ethambutol, the lesions were significantly improved.

Key words: Mycobacterium marinum, rifampicin, granuloma
