Abstract :

 

·        Blastomycosis–like pyoderma (BLP) is an uncommon, exaggerated, vegetative tissue reaction that occurs in patients with downregulated immunity. Reported causes are seen in immune compromised states that include human immunodeficiency virus, malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, leukemia^[1], immunosuppressant use, radiation therapy, pulmonary granuloma, diabetes mellitus ^[1][2], prolonged pyogenic infections like Staphylococcus Aureus ^[1][2] & elevated blood omide levels. It can occur in immunocompetent individuals also ^[3].This condition is characterised by large crusted verrucous plaques with an elevated border^[1] and multiple pustules.
