Ecthyma gangrenosum is a skin manifestation of systemic sepsis commonly caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with neutropenia or underlying immune deficiency. Although the usual outcome is poor, early recognition and appropriate systemic antibiotic treatment can lead to successful outcome. We report a case of a previously healthy lady with no apparent immune deficiency or neutropenia who had ecthyma gangrenosum of left lower limb in which the arterial line was placed.
坏疽性脓皮病是系统性败血症的一种皮肤表现，常见于中性粒细胞减少或存在潜在免疫缺陷的患者，通常由铜绿假单胞菌引起。尽管通常预后较差，但早期识别和适当的全身抗生素治疗可带来成功的结果。我们报告一例既往健康、无明显免疫缺陷或中性粒细胞减少的女性患者，其左下肢发生坏疽性脓皮病并放置了动脉导管。
