Abstract
Only little is known about soft tissue, bone or joint infections caused by Moraxella spp. A case of panaritium ossale et articulare caused by Moraxella nonliquefaciens in an 80-year-old patient immunocompromised by diabetes mellitus and liver insufficiency is reported here. Surgery, local antiseptic treatment, and therapy with aminopenicillins plus beta-lactamase-inhibitors led to complete cure of the infection within 10 days.Entities:
