Bacterial pseudomycosis also known as Botryomycosis is a rare, indolent infection that has been described in patients with immunodeficiency and tissue with decreased healing ability. It affects the visceral organs and infection in the head and neck has been described as affecting the tongue and jaw bones. Histologically, the disease is characterized by the presence of 'Bollinger granules', surrounded by neutrophils in a fibrocellular stroma. A case of gingival Botryomycosis is presented which was diagnosed as a routine pyogenic granuloma in a healthy male.

Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may present with a variety of dermatologic complaints, including reactions to medications, physiologic manifestations of their disease, numerous infectious conditions, and unusual or severe presentations of common dermatologic diseases. Botryomycosis is an uncommon infectious disorder with rare visceral involvement. The cutaneous manifestations of botryomycosis are variable and have not been well-described. We report a case of botryomycosis in an HIV-positive woman who presented with pruritic papules on her neck, trunk, and extremities.

Botryomycosis is an uncommon bacterial infection. It occurs in two forms: cutaneous and visceral. Fewer than 30 pediatric cases have been reported. We present the first case of a 14-day-old newborn with botryomycosis revealed by four tumefactions located in the inguinal and popliteal hollows, without a biological inflammatory syndrome. Pathological examination of the sample demonstrated botryomycosis. The culture collection found Staphylococcus aureus. Progression was favorable with appropriate prolonged antibiotic therapy. Predicting factors such as immunodeficiency or cystic fibrosis were excluded.
