Ectima gangrenoso secundario a Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract: Ecthyma gangrenosum caused by Staphylococcus aureusEcthyma gangrenosum is an uncommon necrotizing vasculitis, in most cases secondary to sepsis by Pseudomona aeruginosa in immunocompromised patients. However, there have been several reports of ecthyma gangrenosum caused by other infectious etiologies. We report an unusual case of ecthyma gangrenosum associated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection in a patient without the classic immunological risk factors described in the literature.Key w… Show more

“…Through the years, a different panorama has been established; it is well known that despite P. aeruginosa being responsible for up to 74% of the cases, other agents can also be involved, and immunocompetent patients can also be affected 1–3 . Other bacterial and fungal etiologies described for EG are Escherichia coli , Staphylococcus aureus , Citrobacter freundii , Klebsiella pneumoniae , Streptococcus pyogenes , Morganella morganii , Stenotrophomonas maltophila , Aeromonas hydrophila , Staphylococcus epidermidis , Streptococcus vestibularis , Enterococcus faecalis , Fusarium sp, and Candida albicans 1,4–9 …”

“…[1][2][3] Other bacterial and fungal etiologies described for EG are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Citrobacter freundii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Morganella morganii, Stenotrophomonas maltophila, Aeromonas hydrophila, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus vestibularis, Enterococcus faecalis, Fusarium sp, and Candida albicans. 1,[4][5][6][7][8][9] EG usually starts as asymptomatic erythematous or violaceous macules, papules, or plaques with surrounding erythema which progress in 12-24 hours to hemorrhagic bullae and necrotic ulcerative eschars (Figures 1 and 2). 10 EG can present as single or multiple lesions affecting most often the perineum, lumbar and gluteal regions (57%), extremities (30%), face (6%), neck and torso (6%), but it can affect any body segment.…”
