In Mycobacterium marinum infection (Califano et al. 1998), called fish-tank granuloma or swimming pool granuloma, the association of skin infection with aquariums and tropical fish has been noted. A prick from a rose thorn might also cause the infection. This is characterized by the presence of one papule, nodule or erythematous plaque with a verrucous surface on the dorsum of the distal phalanx of the finger. [Pg.263]

Reports of swimming-pool granuloma precede the discovery of the causative agent [68-73]. Hellerstrom reported a patient with a mysterious nodule in 1939 [69]. The young man had scraped the bridge of his nose on the bottom of the pool, and subsequently developed what is now presumed to be a M. marinum infection at the site of the abrasion. [Pg.1105]

The epithelioid cells in tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, Kveim tests, Crohn s disease, beryllium disease and swimming pool granuloma, irrespective of their cause, showed identical enzyme patterns, strong pentose cycle activity - biosynthesis, and strong hydrolase activity - phagocytosis (Williams et al.
