 AB    Botryomycosis is a bacterial infection of either the skin alone or in
       combination with visceral organs. It resembles a deep fungal infection.
       A histologic evaluation of cutaneous lesions reveals the characteristic
       Splendore-Hoepple phenomena and assists with management. Patients with
       acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) tend to have uncharacteristic
       lesions resembling common conditions such as prurigo nodularis and
       lichen simplex chronicus. Diagnosis in these cases can be challenging.
       We report the case of a patient with AIDS who was successfully treated
       with Augmentin (amoxicillin, clavulanate potassium). Complete resolution
       of the lesion occurred after the causative agent, Staphylococcus aureus,
       was identified.
