Botryomycosis, a rare bacterial skin infection, can be treated with prolonged clindamycin therapy. This approach offers an alternative to surgery, minimizing cosmetic and functional deficits in patients with head and neck involvement.

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Infectious Diseases
Bacteriology

Background:

Botryomycosis is a chronic bacterial granulomatous disease, typically affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
Head and neck involvement is uncommon, presenting diagnostic challenges due to similarities with actinomycosis or mycetoma.
Staphylococcus aureus is the usual causative agent, with organisms often encapsulated in granules, hindering antibiotic efficacy.
