Abstract

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a Gram-positive bacterium that in humans causes skin infections, such as erysipeloid, as a result of direct contact with contaminated animals or their waste or products. We present the first reported case of tenosynovitis of a finger in a 30-year-old woman.

Keywords: Animal infection; erysipeloid; gram positive; hand infection; sheath decompression
