Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen in erythrodermic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma patients

Background: Mycosis fungoides (MF) and S ézary syndrome (SS) are cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) in which erythroderma can occur. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) prevalence is increased in CTCL patients and contributes to CTCL disease flare. Our aim was to further define patient and S. aureus factors associated with response to antib iotic treatment in erythrodermic CTCL patients.
