The carbon dioxide is mop up by hemoglobin to favor this reversible reaction. Transport of nitric oxide: Nitric oxide is a vasodilator. This assists in the regulation of vascular reaction in times of stress as experienced during inflammation.Pathology and organic structural abnormalities may lead to any of the following disease processes:
Anemia due to reduced life span of the red cells of reduced production of the cells e. g. hemoglobin S, C and E.
Increased oxygen affinity: The red blood cells do not release their oxygen content readily in hypoxic conditions. The bone marrow therefore needs to produce more red blood cells and there is polycythemia. Unstable hemoglobins: Red blood cells are easily destroyed under stress and hemolysis occurs with possible jaundice. Methemoglobinemia: The iron in the heme portion of hemoglobin is easily oxidised and this reduces the ability of hemoglobin to bind oxygen. More deoxygenated hemoglobin are formed and the blood becomes cyanotic. References

Wash hands and forearms thoroughly with soap and running water after cleaning the tank, even if gloves were worn. Ensure regular and adequate chlorination of swimming pools to kill any bacteria that may be present. Treatment
Treatment involves the use of antibiotics. Since M. marinum has a high tendency for multi-drug resistance, treatment by one particular drug will not be effective. Often, up to six different antimicrobial regimes may be needed before the infection responds to a particular drug combination. This combination of antibiotics is based on the results of the culture and skin biopsy. The treatment can take up to several months.Surgery may also be needed to remove dead tissue if the lesions do not clear with antibiotics. This helps the wound to heal. Epidemiology
Mycobacterium marinum infection is not contagious; it is not spreading from person to person. It is also not transmitted in hospitals like other common bacteria. See also
