dc.description.abstractThe present report describes the first known case of an otherwise healthy child who developed a soft tissue infection due to Mycobacterium senegalense – a pathogen usually found in east Africa that is responsible for infecting various animals. The patient presented with nonhealing wounds after sustaining facial lacerations from the shattered glass of a fish tank. The patient responded well to scar revision and antibiotics, with no subsequent relapse.
