چکیده
Fig. S1. Results of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using universal primers targeting mycobacterium DNA: hsp65 short (hsp65S; 441 bp), long (hsp65L; ca.770 bp), rpoB short (rpoBS; ca.330bp), long (rpoBL; ca.450bp) genes and the 16S-23S spacer region (internal transcribed spacer (ITS); ca. 350 bp). Clear strong bands with hsp65L, rpoBS, and ITS primers proved the existence of mycobacteria DNA. In addition, PCR of β-globin was positive and it ensured the quality of DNA extraction from the swab sample. Lane 1, β-globin; lane 2, hsp65S; lane 3, hsp65L; lane 4, rpoBS; lane 5, rpoBL; lane 6, ITS region; lane M, ladder marker.

متن کاملDisseminated Mycobacterium marinum infection in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis receiving infliximab therapy.
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors are important adjunctive therapies for rheumatologic diseases. These agents increase the risk for granulomatous disease. We present a case of a woman with severe rheumatoid arthritis on infliximab who developed multiple nodular skin lesions. Biopsies grew Mycobacterium marinum. New lesions developed through therapy, necessitating surgical debulking.

Infections with rapidly growing mycobacteria are rare and most often seen in immunocompromised patients. We herein present the case of a 69-year-old man with a T-cell lymphoma treated by chemotherapy and mogamulizumab with a 6-month history of febrile episodes and subcutaneous nodules in both arms and arthritis of metacarpophalangeal joints. Blood cultures and DNA sequencing results demonstrate...

Our case differs fro...
