Abstract
We report a case of recurrent chancriform pyoderma. Staphylococcus aur eus was isolated from only one of seven lesions. Immunological respons es to S. aureus, as measured by peripheral neutrophil function, were n ormal. 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 affec ting the tongue.
