Blastomycosis-like pyoderma--report of a case responsive to combination therapy utilizing minocycline and carbon dioxide laser debridement.
Blastomycosis-like pyoderma is an uncommon reaction pattern to a superficial bacterial infection in persons with a variety of predisposing conditions such as chronic ethanol use and poor nutrition. We are reporting a case that initially responded poorly to previously described treatment regimens but responded well to combination treatment with carbon dioxide laser debridement and long-term minocycline.
