Swimming đpool granuloma is caused by A. Mycobacterium chelone B. Mycobacterium kansasii C. Mycobacterium marinum D. Mycobacterium ulcerans
Aquarium granuloma (also known as "fish tank granuloma" and "swimming pool granuloma") is a skin condition caused by Mycobacterium marinum, characterized by a skin lesion that presents roughly three weeks after exposure.
Swimming pool granuloma occurs when water containing Mycobacterium marinum bacteria enter a break in the skin.
Swimming pool granuloma is typically acquired by occupational or recreational exposure to salt or fresh water, often resulting from minor trauma during caring for aquariums
The diagnosis is suggested by the history of exposure and confirmed by culturing tissue specimens which yield the microscopic organism, mycobacterium marinum.
