“…The lesions are generally multiple both in septic and nonsepticemic cases (4). The localizations of the lesions are as follows: 57% gluteal and perianal regions, 30% extremities, 6% trunk and 6% face (2,3).…”

Ecthyma gangrenosum is a well known cutaneous manifestation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections and is usually seen in immunocompromised patients. A previously healthy 5-month-old boy presented to our hospital with a complaint of an open inguinal wound. Physical examination revealed several ulcers surrounded by erythematous halos in bilateral inguinal regions. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from swab cultures obtained from the ulcers. However, blood cultures were sterile. The patient was diagnosed as non-bacterial ectima gangrenosoum. No immunological abnormality was detected during extensive investigation of the patient. The patient was successfully treated with an anti-pseudomonal antibiotic cefoperazone-sulbactam. (Turk Arch Ped 2013; 48: 68-70)

“…Las infecciones invasoras por P. aeruginosa generalmente se producen en pacientes con enfermedades subyacentes: patología maligna, inmunodefi ciencias, fibrosis quística, quemaduras y niños prematuros 3 . También se presentan con frecuencia en el ambiente intrahospitalario, donde suelen ser resistentes a diversos antimicrobianos.…”

Sepsis due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a previously healthy infantPseudomonas aeruginosa, is an opportunistic organism widely distributed in both environmental and nosocomial settings. Invasive infections typically occur in immunocompromised patients, but this agent can also produce sepsis in the immunocompetent host. We report the case of an 8 months old infant, previous healthy, who presented septic shock by P. aeruginosa. Lesions of ecthyma gangrenosum in his limbs required surgical debridement. The patient presented transitory neutropenia and reduced C 4 levels but subsequent study of immune defects was normal.
