Abstract:
We describe a case of sporotrichoid lymphangitis (nodular lymphangitis or lymphocutaneous syndrome) that was an unusual clinical presentation of Staphylococcus aureus infection in a diabetic patient. Common pyogenic bacteria should be considered in the differential diagnosis of sporotrichoid lymphangitis.
