The diagnosis of localized cutaneous diphtheria was confirmed by isolation of a toxigenic strain ofCorynebacterium diphtheriaefrom the ulcer. The patient was placed in isolation and treated with erythromycin and penicillin for 10 days without antitoxin. He was released when two consecutive daily cultures were negative.
