Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis of unknown etiology, characterized by ulcers, especially on the lower limbs. There have only been 13 cases of PG in infants (<12 months old) reported in the past 25 years. We report the case of a 9-month-old child with ulcers on the right leg diagnosed as pyoderma gangrenosum. Tissue cultures for bacteria, mycobacteria, and fungus were negative. The child was treated with prednisone 1 mg/Kg/day for 30 days, with complete healing of the lesions during this period. No underlying diseases have been identified in the last two years, but the child is still being followed.
坏疽性脓皮病(PG)是一种病因不明的罕见嗜中性皮肤病,其特征为溃疡,尤其是下肢溃疡。在过去25年中,仅报告了13例婴儿(<12个月大)患坏疽性脓皮病的病例。我们报告了一例9个月大的儿童,其右腿出现溃疡,被诊断为坏疽性脓皮病。细菌、分枝杆菌和真菌的组织培养结果均为阴性。该患儿接受了泼尼松1毫克/千克/天的治疗,持续30天,在此期间病变完全愈合。在过去两年中未发现潜在疾病,但该患儿仍在接受随访。
