Transmission of Mycobacterium marinum from fish to a very young child.

Mycobacterium marinum causes tuberculosis in fish and can cause skin infections in humans who swim in contaminated water or who have direct contact with infected fish.

Appropriate cleaning of aquarium equipment is very important, especially with young children in the household.
