Popis: | This case illustrates the challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic tenosynovitis caused by stonefish envenomation injury. Persistence of symptoms can be secondary to an indolent infection, retained micro-foreign bodies, or persistence inflammatory response to verrucotoxin. Successful treatment was obtained with serial debridement coupled with a prolonged antibiotic regimen for coverage of the marine base pathogens. Level of Evidence: Level IV. |
