- Abstract
The article presents the case of a 6-year-old boy who was admitted to the hospital with an annular, scaly lesion on his left calf that started a week before his admission. He was initially treated for a presumed tinea infection with topical ketoconazole. Because there was no improvement following treatment, he was prescribed triamcinolone cream for possible dermatitis and oral cephalexin for possible bacterial superinfection. He was diagnosed with Majocchi's granuloma and discharged in oral clindamycin and griseofulvin.
