- W2144150870 abstract "A healthy 2-year-old female presented with a round, non-tender skin lesion on her buttock, its center black and ulcerated, its margins red. It began as a small black spot a week before and subsequently enlarged and ulcerated, without blister formation, reaching the size and shape shown in the Figure. The patient was afebrile, without systemic signs or symptoms. Her blood tests, including complete blood count (peripheral leukocyte count of 10.3 × 109/L with 3 × 109/L neutrophils, 6.1 × 109/L lymphocytes, 0.9 × 109/L monocytes, and 0.3 × 109/L eosinophils), C-reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were unremarkable. The child had no history of recent viral illness or prolonged water exposure (eg, whirlpool, pool with protracted wet diaper, bath tub, or bath sponge). She came in contact with horses and chickens at her grandfather's farm. Cutaneous anthrax was suggested. A skin-punch biopsy was taken from the lesion and demonstrated fibrin and mixed inflammatory cells with a necrotic area and neutrophils in the connective tissue. The culture revealed Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These findings are consistent with a diagnosis of Ecthyma gangrenosum. Ecthyma gangrenosum is a cutaneous manifestation of severe, invasive infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, usually seen in immunocompromised and critically ill patients.1Mina Yassaee SBE, Ravi Ubriani, William D James.

A previous report of two healthy children with invasive Pseudomonas infection linked their infection to prolonged bathing.3Meislich D. Long S.S. Invasive Pseudomonas infection in two healthy children following prolonged bathing.Am J Dis Child. 1993; 147: 18-20PubMed Google Scholar Current literature recommends prompt treatment with systemic antibiotic therapy, with Pseudomonas coverage, once Ecthyma gangrenosum is suspected, based on clinical appearance.4Zomorrodi A.

Ecthyma gangrenosum: considerations in a previously healthy child.Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2002; 21: 1161-1164Crossref PubMed Scopus (88) Google Scholar If the lesion fails to respond to antimicrobials, surgical debridement may be required.7Craigie R.J.

Two years since presentation, our patient has encountered no immunologic or other health problems." @default.
