amphotericin-b and Pyoderma

Granulomatous diseases are caused by multiple infectious and noninfectious causes. Deep fungal infections can present in the skin or extracutaneously, most commonly with lung manifestations. An Azole or amphotericin B is the universal treatment. Blastomycosis-like pyoderma is a clinically similar condition, which is caused by a combination of hypersensitivity and immunosuppression. Successful treatment has been reported with antibiotics and, more recently, the vitamin A analog, acitretin. Granuloma inguinale and lymphogranuloma venereum cause ulcerative genital lesions with a granulomatous appearance on histology. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommens treatment of these genital infections with doxycycline.
