A 46-year-old man from Minnesota presented to his primary care physician with a 2-week history of furuncle on his abdomen that was gradually increasing in size and had started to produce purulent drainage. Physical examination revealed a firm 4-cm lesion with a small amount of surrounding erythema and induration in the left lower abdominal quadrant. He did not report any recent travel, animal exposures, tick bites, or sick contacts. His medical history was significant for hypothyroidism and dyslipidemia, and he had no known drug allergies.
