title: Macronodular lesions associated with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. A condition that resembles a 'lymphocutaneous' syndrome.
abstract: A 54-year-old man, diagnosed as having Wegener's granulomatosis and treated with a regimen of cyclophosphamide and prednisone and hemodialysis, was found to have Staphylococcus aureus in blood, urine, and pus that were removed from the infected area. He had unusual macronodular lesions of the skin that resembled the lymphocutaneous syndrome. These lesions resolved with antibiotic therapy. To our knowledge, this condition has not been described previously.
