“…Fish tank granuloma is an uncommon and underreported disease, and few cases of pedicure footbaths have been reported [11,12]. Disseminated infection is rare and almost always occurs in immunosuppressed individuals or patients with psoriasis treated with biological agents [13][14][15]. Therefore, fish spas in general should not be recom-mended, particularly for diabetic patients, immunocompromised patients, or patients treated with biological agents.…”

Fish pedicures and/or fish manicures are treatments performed in spas involving the use of the living fish Garra rufa. In the last decade, the use of G. rufa for cosmetic and therapeutic reasons has become increasingly popular. The patients are placed into a bath to control psoriasis, eczema, or other skin conditions, but there is no scientific proof of their effectiveness. Most of the infections described in association with fish spas result from minor skin injury and contact with fish carrying such bacteria as Staphylococcus aureus, Aeromonas sobria, and Mycobacterium marinum. Therefore, fish spas in general should not be recommended, particularly for diabetic patients, immunocompromised patients, or patients treated with biological agents.

“…Die unter TNF-alpha-Antagonisten auftretenden MMI neigen, wie im geschilderten Fall, zur raschen regionalen Dissemination [4 -7, 9, 10], vereinzelt zur Disseminierung oder Beteiligung subkutaner Strukturen [8,11] und teilweise zu Rezidiven unter erneuter Gabe von TNF-alpha-Antagonisten [5]. In anderen Fällen kam es trotz Wiederaufnahme dieser Therapie zu keinem Rezidiv [2,3]. In einem einzelnen Fall kam es sogar zur Abheilung der MMI nach 8 Monaten unter antimykobakterieller Therapie trotz fortgesetzter Gabe von Ipilimumab [6].…”

“…In einem einzelnen Fall kam es sogar zur Abheilung der MMI nach 8 Monaten unter antimykobakterieller Therapie trotz fortgesetzter Gabe von Ipilimumab [6]. Zum Erreichen einer Abheilung der MMI führten Kombinationen aus Ethambutol, Rifampicin und Clarithromycin [8], Ethambutol und Rifampicin [3,6], Ethambutol und Clarithromycin [5,7], Ethambutol und Rifabutin [4], Minocyclin und Clarithromycin [4], Doxycyclin und Rifampicin [9] sowie Monotherapien mit Clarithromycin [11] und Doxycyclin [2]. Die hierfür erforderlichen Therapiedauern betrugen 3 -8 Monate, nur in einem Fall vier Wochen [4].…”

“…2,3 The literature mentions only six cases of psoriasis associated with M. marinum infection and anti-TNF-a was administered in all cases. 4,[6][7][8][9] This is another rare case of M. marinum sporotrichoid-like skin infection in a patient on anti-TNF-a treatment.…”

First Reported Mycobacterium Marinum Infection Case in a Patient With Psoriatic Arthritis Maintained on Golimumab

2020

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibition has become a widely used biological therapy in patients with underlying autoimmune diseases and its association with increased risk for tuberculosis and other granulomatous diseases has been extensively studied recently. 1 Nontuberculous mycobacterial infections are also associated with the immune dysfunction caused by the use of immunomosdulatory drugs, mainly anti TNF-alpha (a), ranging from localized skin infection to disseminated disease. 2,3 Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis patients treated with anti-TNF are at higher risk of developing skin non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection due to the disease itself and the combined side effect of the medications used. 4 The following case describes a skin infection with Mycobacterium marinum (M. marinum) associated with the use of golimumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody against TNF-a, in a patient with psoriatic arthritis.
