Abstract
Destructive infection of a cuneiform bone due to M. xenopi is described. The organism was isolated and its significance established by a strong skin reaction to xenopi antigen and by demonstration of bacilli in the lesion with fluorescence microscopy. This evidence of metastatic disease suggests that an alimentary route of infection as an alternative to inhalation could be considered.Entities:
