Botriomicose cutânea é uma infecção oportunista rara de pele e tecidos moles caracterizada por lesões purulentas e granulomatosas crônicas nas quais os organismos formam grânulos compostos por massas bacterianas. É mais comumente associada a Staphylococcus aureus, mas outros organismos, incluindo Pseudomonas aeruginosa, foram implicados. Freqüentemente, afeta as extremidades e pode ser diagnosticado erroneamente como micetoma. Embora tenha sido relatado em associação com comprometimento da imunidade por, por exemplo, infecção por HIV, diabetes mellitus e corticoterapia em altas doses, pode ocorrer em indivíduos aparentemente imunocompetentes. | |||
