| description | The presence of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in
healthy children is very uncommon. Infants may occasionally
present with community-acquired sepsis due to Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, preceded by prolonged contact with contaminated bath water. Ecthyma gangrenosum is a characteristic dermatological manifestation caused most commonly by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We describe the clinical data
and therapeutic management of a 6 month-old infant with
ecthyma gangrenousum caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
complicated with septicaemia and meningitis. The infant was
immunodeficient as indicated by hypogammaglobulinemia,
neutropenia, and a low level of C3 complement component. |
