Deep Fungal Infections, Blastomycosis-Like Pyoderma, and Granulomatous Sexually Transmitted Infections - 03/07/15
Résumé |
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.
