Pyococcal granuloma

Introduction:

Granulomatous infections are diseases caused by granulocytic organisms such as staphylococci, streptococci and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These microorganisms are capable of producing toxins that cause tissue necrosis and the formation of granulomas around the infectious focus. In this context, we will talk about granulomatous infection caused by pyococci - bacilli that are highly virulent and resistant to antibiotics.

Pyococcal granulomas: etiology and pathogenesis

Pyococci are aerobic gram-positive cocci or rods. They can release exotoxins that have the ability to initiate inflammation and necrosis in host tissues. Granulum infection with pyococcus is usually accompanied by the formation of dense, tissue-confined granules known as “giant cells.” These granular lesions contain large amounts of necrotic mass and inflammatory cells,
