| description | <i>Prevotella bivia</i> is an anaerobic, gram-negative bacillus which naturally thrives in the human vagina, and is usually related to vaginal tract infections. However, this microorganism can also cause infections in other body locations. Infections with <i>Prevotella bivia</i> are frequently severe due to the risk of osteomyelitis and the lack of good protocols for adequate therapeutic management. <i>Staphylococcus haemolyticus</i> infection is one of the most frequent etiological factors of nosocomial infections, which hasthe ability to acquire multiple resistance against antimicrobial agents. We report a rare case of foot and hand paronychia with superinfection of <i>Prevotella bivia</i> and <i>Staphylococcus haemolyticus</i>. We highlight the importance of early microbiological diagnosis, and proper therapeutic management to avoid the risk of complications and the development of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. |
