Suppurative panniculitis usually occurs among immunocompromised patients and can be caused by opportunistic pathogens or by secondary infectious lesions in the context of septicemia. Herein we report the case of an 82-year-old woman with multiple red nodules on the leg caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, not related to a blood disseminated infection. The present case represents an unusual presentation of indolent suppurative panniculitis caused by P. aeruginosa.
化脓性脂膜炎通常发生于免疫功能低下的患者,可能由机会性病原体引起,也可能继发于脓毒症时的败血症性感染病变。本文报道了一例 82 岁女性患者,因感染铜绿假单胞菌导致腿部出现多个红色结节,与菌血症的血行播散感染无关。本例代表了铜绿假单胞菌引起的非化脓性脂膜炎的一种不常见表现。
