Abstract
We report a case of recurrent chancriform pyoderma. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from only one of seven lesions. Immunological responses to S. aureus, as measured by peripheral neutrophil function, were normal. We question the notion that chancriform pyoderma represents an abnormal immune response to a primary staphylococcal infection. To our knowledge, this is only the third reported patient with lesions affecting the tongue.
