Abstract :

Cutaneous Botryomycosis is a rare chronic focal infection, characterised by granulomatous inflammatory response to bacterial pathogens such asStaphylococcus aureusand less commonlyPseudomonas spp, Escherichia Coli, Proteus spp, Streptococcus spp. It mainly involves the skin and rarely viscera. We report a case of a 35 year old man who presented with polymicrobial botryomycosiswith multiple chronic skin lesions over the left scapular region. Surgical deidement and culture revealed staph aureusand pseudomonas, sensitive to Minocyclin. Patient was put on oral antimicrobial therapy and showed definitive resolution with Minocyclin on follow up
