ABSTRACT
Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogen that causes tissue
infections of variable severity, with high resistance
to antibiotic use. We present the clinical case
of a patient with type 2 diabetes and systemic arterial
hypertension who presented eczema caused by
Staphylococcus aureus with initial treatment failure,
who underwent culture with antibiogram to guide
therapeutic management, showing clinical improvement.
This ailment recurrently affects susceptible patients;
therefore, we must have clinical suspicion and
provide a comprehensive approach as primary care
physicians.
