Abstract
An acute localized, purulent skin lesion developed on the right knee of an 8-year-old girl and was subsequently diagnosed as a primary cutaneous Nocardia brasiliensis infection. It was soon accompanied by intense lymphangitis and regional adenopathy. The patient had a history of a minor abrasion contaminated by soil at the site of infection 8 days before the infection became evident. The infection was successfully treated with a combination of minocycline and dapsone.
