Botryomycosis

Abstract: Botryomycosis is a subacute or chronic bacterial infection, which is characterized by a granulomatous response and granules in which the microorganisms are embedded by a hyaline matrix. It may be caused by several pyogenic bacteria. The mechanism of granule formation is not understood. Treatment is with surgical drainage or resection, whenever possible, and prolonged use of the appropriate antibiotics.

“…Botryomycosis is a chronic localized bacterial infection that is usually polymicrobial and is sometimes associated with a foreign body, penetrating injury, or local trauma (as in our case) [1,3]. S. aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and other organisms are frequently recovered by aerobic and anaerobic culture; S. aureus and P. aeruginosa are the pathogens that are isolated most often [3,4].…”

“…Botryomycosis is clinically divided into visceral and cutaneous forms. Cutaneous disease, which is proba¬ bly the most frequent manifestation, involves the skin but may extend into the underlying muscle and bone.5 6 The most frequently affected areas are exposed sur¬ faces, such as the hands, feet, and head. 6 Intertriginous and gluteal areas are also frequently involved.…”
