A reference that centralizes the information on cutaneous lesions of infection in the immunocompromised host, collects well-documented references (by biopsy or culture) on specific skin lesions of infection, illustrates (in color) cutaneous lesions of routine and rare infectious organisms, demonstrates the evolution of skin lesions over time or with the recovery of neutrophils, recognizes patterns of infection and likely causes in different clinical settings, and provides a list of pathogens that may cause a particular skin lesion when the host is immunocompromised.
