M marinum infections in a Chesapeake Bay community.
Their proximity to Eastern Virginia's abundant waterways has given the authors experience in managing the destructive tenosynovitis and deep tissue infections caused by M marinum. They present nine cases, discuss diagnosis and treatment, review the literature, and urge urban physicians to be on the alert for the disease in patients recently returned from fishing trips.
