title: [Sporotrichoid infection with Mycobacterium marinum: successful therapy with oral tetracycline administration].
abstract: Atypical mycobacterial infections of the skin present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to dermatologists in many instances. We report on a patient who was diagnosed with atypical mycobacteriosis in its rarer, sporotrichoid form. Possible differential diagnoses are discussed. Efficient therapy using minocycline is demonstrated.
