Abstract :Abstract: Mycobacterium marinum is a saprophytic atypical mycobacterium. It often causes skin and soft tissue infection in humans by inoculation. Transmission usually occurs as a result of exposure to aquariums, swimming pools, fish or other marine organisms. Clinically, single or multiple papules, nodules, plaques, abscesses or ulcers are seen in the distal extremities. It rarely causes invasive infections such as osteomyelitis. Due to its rarity and good response to doxycycline treatment, we found it appropriate to present it. Özet: Mikobakterium marinum saprofitik atipik bir mikobakteridir. İnsanlarda sıklıkla inokülasyon yoluyla deri ve yumuşak doku enfeksiyonuna sebep olur. Bulaş genellikle akvaryumlar, yüzme havuzları, balık veya diğer deniz canlılarına maruz kalma sonucunda olur. Klinik olarak çoğunlukla ekstremite distallerinde tek veya multipl papül, nodül, plak, apse veya ülser şeklinde lezyonlar izlenir. Nadiren osteomiyelit gibi invaziv enfeksiyonlara sebep olur. Nadir görülmesi ve doksisiklin tedavisine iyi yanıt vermesi sebebiyle sunmayı uygun bulduk.
Keywords : Mikobakterium Marinum, yüzme havuzu granülomu
