Sporotrichoid Pyogenic Bacterial Infection

Abstract: Two cases of pyogenic bacterial infection, which initially resembled lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis, are reported. In case 1, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus group A were cultured from the lesion and in case 2, S. aureus alone. Histologically, botryomycotic grains were identified in case 2; this patient had diffuse normolipidemic plane xanthoma. With oral administration of cefaclor, the cutaneous lesions dramatically improved in both cases.
