【 摘 要 】

Non-tuberculous mycobacterial tenosynovitis is a rare condition, more typically caused by M. marinum followed by M. kansasii.4 Patients typically present with chronic swelling without signs of acute infection, and normal ESR/CRP inflammatory markers.4 It is difficult to diagnose and is frequently misdiagnosed, which often results in delay to treatment (on average roughly six months).
