Abstract
This case illustrates the challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic tenosynovitis caused by stonefish envenomation injury. Persistence of symptoms can be secondary to an indolent infection, retained micro-foreign bodies, or persistence inflammatory response to verrucotoxin. Successful treatment was obtained with serial debridement coupled with a prolonged antibiotic regimen for coverage of the marine base pathogens. <b>Level of Evidence:</b> Level IV.
