Abstract
- Blastomycosis-like pyoderma is an uncommon vegetating tissue reaction, often secondary to a bacterial infection occurring in patients with a compromised immune system. We describe a clinically blastomycosis-like pyoderma on the right ankle and knee in a patient with iatrogenic Cushing syndrome, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and congestive heart failure.
