ABSTRACT
Blastomycosis-like pyoderma is a rare, vegetating skin lesion that is an unusual exaggerated tissue reaction possibly to prolonged primary or secondary bacterial infection. We report a case of blastomycosis-like pyoderma in a man with Down syndrome, diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism who responsed poorly to conventional therapies, including antibiotics and correction of predisposing factors for a long time, but experienced dramatic improvement after 3 months of acitretin treatment.
