TI Botryomycosis in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

AB Botryomycosis is a bacterial infection of either the skin alone or in
combination with visceral organs. It resembles a deep fungal infection.
A histologic evaluation of cutaneous lesions reveals the characteristic
Splendore-Hoepple phenomena and assists with management. Patients with
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) tend to have uncharacteristic
lesions resembling common conditions such as prurigo nodularis and
lichen simplex chronicus. Diagnosis in these cases can be challenging.
We report the case of a patient with AIDS who was successfully treated
with Augmentin (amoxicillin, clavulanate potassium). Complete resolution
of the lesion occurred after the causative agent, Staphylococcus aureus,
was identified.
