ABSTRACT
La botriomicosis es una enfermedad purulenta crónica poco frecuente, de difícil diagnóstico clínico, que puede afectar a la piel y a otros órganos, caracterizada por una reaccción atípica del huésped frente a una infección bacteriana común, habitualmente por S. aureus. La histología muestra la formación de gránulos eosinofílicos que recuerdan a los observados en la actinomicosis. Describimos un caso de esta rara entidad en un paciente varón de 87 años que desarrolló una lesión nodular sobre el pliegue nasogeniano izquierdo con apariencia clínica similar a un queratoacantoma, en el que se llegó al diagnóstico tras realizar una exéresis y una biopsia de la lesión (AU)

Patch tests with Nickel sulphate, cobalt chloride, bichromate and mercury, were performed in 100 randomized children. Twenty children reacted with allergic positive responses 11 were positive to mercury. Nine to Nickel sulphate. The youngest was a girl of eight months of age, allergic to nickel sulphate and suffering contact dermatitis in the ear lobes, produced by the ear rings that she had brought from her first week of life. Mercury has been the strongest metal in the infancy examined. Biggest incidence of responses are in kids between six and eight years old.
