*For 12 case-patients, >1 lesion was analyzed. For 8 case-patients, samples yielded microbiological characteristics within the same profile, but in samples from lesions in case-patients 41, 61, 76, and 82, differing microbiological profiles were found; R, right; L, left.
†Hurley staging: Hurley, stage 1 lesions correspond to nodules or abscesses, single or multiple, without sinus tracts or hypertrophic scars. Stage 2 lesions are single or multiple but nonconfluent lesions with sinus tracts and formation of scarring. Stage 3 lesions correspond to diffuse or nearly diffuse involvement of multiple interconnected sinus tracts or abscesses across the entire area.
‡Profile A: S. lugdunensis as unique or predominant pathogen; profile B: anaerobic microflora.
