Skinmed. 2022 Dec 20;20(6):457-459. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTA 23-year-old man with Bruton's X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), who required intravenous immunoglobulin G (IgG) every 3 weeks, presented with an erythematous scaly eruption adjacent to the chest port for antibiotic therapy (Figures 1A,B). His past medical history included Helicobacter cinaedi cellulitis in 2015 that was treated with intravenous vancomycin and ertapenem with no improvement after several months. The therapy was switched to ertapenem and amikacin, which was also unsuccessful after 1 year. Subsequently, on switching to oral doxycycline for 6 months, he had a 2-year period without skin lesions. He presented to Mount Sinai Hospital in 2019 with 2-day fever and newly appearing skin lesions. (SKINmed. 2022;20:457-459).PMID:36537682
