BACKGROUND Ecthyma gangrenosum is an uncommon cutaneous infection commonly caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa affecting typically immunocompromised patients. The presence of ecthyma gangrenosum can be associated with severe systemic infection often with a fatal prognosis. Most cases of ecthyma
Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection that induced pseudomembranous laryngopharyngitis and ecthyma gangrenosum simultaneously in a healthy infant is rare. We reported on a previously healthy 5-month-old boy with initial presentation of fever and diarrhea followed by stridor and progressive respiratory
Ecthyma is a deep ulcerative pyoderma usually caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes). It usually presents in areas of damaged skin and in immunocompromised patients, and very infrequently is accompanied by general symptoms and bacteremia. We describe the case of a
Ecthyma gangrenosum typically occurs in patients who are immunocompromised. It is most often associated with a Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia but other pathogens can be found. We report an HIV-infected patient with disseminated nontuberculous mycobacterial infection who presented with fever,
Contagious ecthyma, diagnosed in three lambs, was transmitted to two researchers having direct contact with oral secretions from these lambs. Intracytoplasmic viral particles were demonstrated by electron microscopy in gingival biopsies from one lamb. Lamb to lamb transmission was most likely caused
BACKGROUND
Shanghai fever, a community-acquired enteric illness associated with sepsis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, was first described in 1918. The understanding of Shanghai fever is incomplete.
OBJECTIVE
To delineate the clinical features and to examine the host and microbial factors
A 56-year-old woman with acute myeloid leukemia had two rapidly growing necrotizing nodules with ulcer formation on her head after the first course of consolidation therapy. Clinical features corresponding to sepsis (e.g., fever) appeared following the development of the skin lesion. Pseudomonas
Ecthyma gangrenosum is a well recognized cutaneous manifestation of severe, invasive infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa usually in immunocompromised and critically ill patients. This type of infection is usually fatal. Aeromonas infection is infrequently reported as the cause of ecthyma
BACKGROUND
Ecthyma gangrenosum is an infective lesion of the skin and mucosal membranes. It is most commonly caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the most important risk factors are malignancy and neutropenia. However, it has rarely been reported in children who were previously healthy. Persistent
BACKGROUND
Outcome of pseudomonas enteric fever is unpredictable as multiple systemic lethal complications occur abruptly.
METHODS
A 9-month-old girl with multiple ileal perforations, leukocoria, ecthyma gangrenosum, hemiplegia and a perforated ulcer in the soft palate. Blood culture suggested
BACKGROUND
Ecthyma gangrenosum is a cutaneous manifestation of Pseudomonas infections. This condition may be associated with bacteraemia but can also occur in the absence of bacteraemia.
METHODS
The authors report the case of a 66-year-old woman presented with necrotic ulcerations on the face
Ecthyma gangrenosum is a cutaneous infectious usually associated with P. aeruginosa. It usually develops In patients with an underlying immunodeficiency.A 50-year old mentally disabled white male with a history of epilepsy presented with fever and a BACKGROUND
Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis, well known in immunocompromised patients, is rare in previously healthy children.
METHODS
A previously healthy 4 month-old boy was admitted with the suspicion of meningococcal septicemia. Three days prior to admission, he had developed high fever and two 4
BACKGROUND
Agranulocytosis is known to be a rare side effect of thionamides. This complication puts pregnant patients at particular risk for infections. Obstetricians caring for such patients have the difficult task of deciding between conservative or surgical management.
METHODS
The patient is a
