Abstract: | We report on a Mycobacterium marinum infection in a diabetic woman 8 years after undergoing a combined pancreas-kidney transplantation. This is, to our knowledge, the first case report on an isolated skin infection with atypical mycobacteria after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. A genetic probe categorization revealed an infection with M. marinum. Skin tuberculosis caused by M. marinum is an uncommon complication in kidney or pancreas-kidney transplant recipients, hence the diagnosis can be delayed. |
