Abstract:
A superficial pustular eruption with acute onset has been reported in patients with acne vulgaris receiving systemic antibiotic treatment. In all past cases the causative micro-organism was found to be a gram-negative bacterium. This case report describes a similar clinical picture under the same circumstances, in which the bacterium incriminated was a coagulase-negative Staphylococcus.
