    Global Veterinaria 21 (6): 337-347, 2019 ISSN 1992-6197 © IDOSI Publications, 2019 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.gv.2019.337.347 Fish Mycobacteriosis: Review Workneh Tesemma, Migbaru Keffale and Simegnew Adugna College of Veterinary Medicine, Haramaya University, P.O. Box: 138, Dire Dawa, Ethiopia Abstract: Fish mycobacteriosis is a chronic disease caused by a group of bacteria (simple single-celled organisms) known as mycobacteria, which affects both in culture and wild setting fishes. It includes both slowly and rapidly growing mycobacterial species that includes M. marinum and M. fortuitum. These two mycobacterial species also have a significant public health impact among human beings. Transmission to human beings includes during handling of fish that is infected by mycobacteria and during cleaning of aquiram and materials already contaminated by fish that have been infected by mycobacteriosis. External clinical sign is rare but it forms a granulomatous lesion on kidney, liver and spleen during post mortem diagnosis. Fish that are infected by mycobacteriosis can’t fit for human consumption and this in turn decreases trade on fish which leads to economic loss in farms. Laboratory confirmation of mycobacteriosis is based on acid-fast microscopy of suspected pathological material. There is no widely accepted treatment for it rather than depopulation which cause a large economic loss in fish farms and facility disinfection as control and protection methods. Key words: Economic Loss Fishes Fish Mycobacteriosis Public Health Impact INTRODUCTION Mycobacteriosis affects a wide range of fresh water and marine fish species, suggesting a ubiquitous Fish mycobacteriosis is known as piscine distribution and has the potential to profoundly impact tuberculosis, which is a chronic progressive disease the fishery sector as a whole and its economic caused by several species of the genus mycobacterium consequences include mortality, morbidity and effects of [1].

  • Atypical Mycobacterial Cutaneous Infections in Hong Kong
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE CME MH Ho CK Ho Atypical mycobacterial cutaneous LY Chong infections in Hong Kong: 10-year retrospective study !"#$%&'()*+,-./01 ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Objective. To review the epidemiology of atypical mycobacterial cutaneous infection in Hong Kong. Design. Retrospective study. Setting. Social Hygiene Service (Dermatology Division), the largest dermato- logical referral centre in Hong Kong. Patients. Patients with a diagnosis of atypical mycobacterial cutaneous infec- tion based on clinical features, histopathology, with or without a positive culture during the period 1993 to 2002. Main outcome measures. Epidemiological data, clinical features, histology, microbiological investigation, and treatment response. Results. Of 345 394 dermatological cases presented over the 10-year period, 33 (0.0096%) cases (19 male, 14 female) of atypical mycobacterial cutaneous infection were diagnosed. The most common type of infection was caused by Mycobacterium marinum (n=17, 51.5%), followed by Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (n=3, 9.1%) and Mycobacterium chelonae (n=2, 6.1%). The upper limb, especially the hands and fingers, was the most common (69.7%) site of involvement. Tissue culture was positive in 18 (54.5%) cases. All biopsies showed granulomatous histology. Thirty-two patients received treatment and 31 responded. Twenty-six were treated with oral tetracycline group of antibiot- ics (minocycline, doxycycline, tetracycline). The duration of treatment ranged from 8 to 54 weeks (mean, 24 weeks). Mild transient adverse effects to treatment were reported in six cases. Conclusion. Atypical mycobacterial infection is rare in Hong Kong. Because of the low sensitivity of traditional culture techniques, atypical mycobacterial infec- tion may be underdiagnosed if only culture-confirmed cases are included.

Mycobacterium Classification: *Order: actinomycetales * Family: mycobacteriaceae *Genus: mycobacterium There are three major species of this family: A) Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex(MTC) That causes tuberculosis مرض السل مرض الجذام B) Mycobacterium leprae causes leprosy C) Mycobacterium avium intracellularie/ mycobacterium avium complex( MAI/ MAC). NTM (non-tuberculos mycobacteria): also known as environmental mycobacteria. They are a group of mycobacteria that don’t cause neither tuberculosis nor leprosy. In other words, they are a nontuberculous, nongranulomatous category of mycobacteria that causes infections in different sites of the body (causing lung disease- other than tuberculosis, lymphadenitis, skin infections and others with NO "typical granuloma”) MAC is the most common type of NTM *(NTM) frequently infect patients with AIDS. Also, they are opportunistic pathogens in other immunocompromised individuals, and occasionally cause disease in patients with normal immune systems. 1 | P a g e Principal pathogen that causes tuberculosis in human is Mycobacterium tuberculosis [Mtb] BUT there are other species that can cause tuberculosis, collectively called "mycobacterium tuberculosis complex- MTC" This group (MTC) can cause Tuberculosis disease in humans and other livings. 11 members are in this group, they are for you to memorize or at least to be familiar with, try to make your own mnemonics for them : Doctor Nader suggested the following question for those: ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE MEMBERS OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS COMPLEX EXCEPT *( choices will include one wrong answer, giving you for example one of NTMs that we mentioned before.

  • Often Misdiagnosed Mycobacterium Marinum Infection
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.4154 Slow-growing and Linearly Spreading Cutaneous Lesion: Often Misdiagnosed Mycobacterium Marinum Infection Lakshmisree A. Vemulakonda 1 , Jamie A. Tschen 2 1. Pathology, University of Washington, Bothell, USA 2. Dermatopathology, St. Joseph Hospital, Houston, USA Corresponding author: Lakshmisree A. Vemulakonda, [email protected] Abstract Mycobacterium marinum is a slow-growing atypical mycobacterium. It is a photochromogen; when exposed to light, it produces yellow pigment. In humans, it manifests as a localized granuloma or sporotrichotic lymphangitis. Patients at risk include anglers (commercial, recreational), oyster workers, swimmers, aquarium workers, and individuals with aquariums in their homes. Herein, we report a case of a Mycobacterium marinum infection which was misdiagnosed because there was no histopathological evidence of acid-fast bacilli and the slow growth rate in cultures. Categories: Dermatology, Pathology Keywords: mycobacterium marinum, fish tank granuloma, sporotrichoid spread Introduction Mycobacterium marinum is an atypical mycobacterium that causes dermatological and osteoarticular lesions. The main source of infection is exposure to the aquatic environment or marine life. Despite an increase in the number of cases in recent years, this infection often goes unrecognized or misdiagnosed due to the non- specific clinical and histopathological features and the slow rate of growth in cultures leading to delayed management [1]. In this case report, we would like to familiarize the reader with this infection and its management to minimize the risk of misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Case Presentation A 69-year-old male came with a complaint of cutaneous lesions on the right arm associated with redness and itching for 11 months.

  • Mycobacterium Marinum Infection
    Sette et al. Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases (2015) 21:7 DOI 10.1186/s40409-015-0008-9 CASE REPORT Open Access Mycobacterium marinum infection: a case report Christiane Salgado Sette1*, Patrick Alexander Wachholz2,PaulaYoshikoMasuda1,RenataBorgesFortesdaCostaFigueira1, Fernanda Rodrigues de Oliveira Mattar1 and Deise Godoy Ura1 Abstract The infection by Mycobacterium marinum in humans is relatively uncommon. When it occurs, it mainly affects the skin, usually with a chronic, indolent and benign evolution. The diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, and a significant delay may be observed between the first symptoms to the final diagnosis. This present case reports a M. marinum infection in an immunocompetent patient that had a chronic undiagnosed injury on the dominant hand for at least five years. The patient had several medical consultations, without proper suspicion, hampering adequate diagnostic investigation. Histopathology detected tuberculoid granulomas, but showed no acid-fast bacilli. The culture in appropriatemediumandthepolymerasechainreaction-restrictionenzymeanalysis(PRA)-hsp65confirmedthediagnosis. Treatment with clarithromycin (1 g/day) for three months was effective. Although uncommon, this infection is a contact zoonosis. Therefore, it is important for clinicians to be aware of this diagnosis and properly guide preventable measures to professionals that are in risk group.

  • Mycobacterium Marinum Hand Infection Masquerading As Tinea Manuum: a Case Report and Literature Review Katarina Trčko1 ✉, Jurij Plaznik1, Jovan Miljković2
    Acta Dermatovenerologica 2021;30:91-93 Acta Dermatovenerol APA Alpina, Pannonica et Adriatica doi: 10.15570/actaapa.2021.23 Mycobacterium marinum hand infection masquerading as tinea manuum: a case report and literature review Katarina Trčko1 ✉, Jurij Plaznik1, Jovan Miljković2 1Department of Dermatology and Venereal Diseases, University Medical Centre Maribor, Maribor, Slovenia. 2Faculty of Medicine, University of Maribor, Maribor, Slovenia. Abstract Fish tank granuloma is a rare skin infection caused by Mycobacterium marinum. It occurs after exposure of skin abrasions to con- taminated water or infected fish. The majority ofM. marinum infections today are fish tank–related. The most common presenta- tion is a solitary nodule, often with sporotrichoid spread. Other presentations do not occur often. The diagnosis is often delayed because of lack of suspicion, nonspecific histopathological findings, and frequently unsuccessful cultivation. Here we present the case of a 37-year-old male with M. marinum skin infection, presenting as erythematous scaling plaques. Because the initial results of laboratory and histopathological examinations were negative for a fungal infection or nontuberculous mycobacteria, the patient was treated empirically with several systemic antibiotics and antifungals without any success. Finally, the diagnosis of fish tank granuloma was confirmed 3 months after the initial presentation of the patient. After the introduction of treatment with rifampicin and clarithromycin, complete clinical remission was observed after 6 months of therapy.
