ABSTRACT

Botryomycosis is a chronic, granulomatous, rare often underdiagnosed disease that affects skin and mucous membranes and can also have systemic involvement. There are triggers such as trauma and foreign bodies, as well as predisposing factors such as immunosuppression, however can also occur in healthy people. Diagnosis is clinical, histopathological and by microbiological analysis; treatment is based on antibiotics and sometimes surgery.
