We describe the clinical and pathologic findings of the first reported case of pulmonary botryomycosis in a patient with AIDS. Botryomycosis is an uncommon, chronic, suppurative disease that is often mistaken clinically and histologically for a fungal infection. The patient responded to systemic antibiotic therapy.

Botryomycosis is a rare chronic suppurative infection characterised by a granulomatous inflammatory response to bacterial pathogens. Among the two forms, the visceral form is an even rarer finding that mainly affects the lungs and whose main causative agents are Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, although many other non-filamentous bacteria have been identified. Here, we present a case of primary pulmonary botryomycosis, which to our knowledge is the first case of this type reported in Mexico.

The European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) is a nocturnal, solitary and non-territorial mammal endemic across Europe and central Asia. Due to population decline in recent decades in Europe, this species was declared as protected and registered as 'Least Concern' on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species. Previous studies pointed to the possible contribution of human activities to hedgehog mortality but few reports provide a complete overview of the pathological processes associated with mortality of the European hedgehog.

Botryomycosis is a rare pyogranulomatous disease characterized by suppurative and often granulomatous bacterial infection of the skin, soft tissues and viscera. Only about 90 cases have been reported in world literature till date: 75% of them are cases of cutaneous botryomycosis. Of the 18 reported cases of primary pulmonary botryomycosis, only one had histologically proven botryomycosis in a lung cavity.
