Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus foot infection after fish pedicure.

K Sugimoto1, R Frei, P Graber.   

Abstract

Fish pedicure has become a popular cosmetic procedure involving immersion of the feet in a tank with freshwater fish (Garra rufa) that nibble off dead skin. There are concerns about the potential transmission of pathogens, but no cases of infections after this procedure have been published so far. We present a patient who developed foot infection with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) after fish pedicure.
