Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) involves necrotic cutaneous lesions caused by bacteria, mainly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and is usually seen in immunocompromised patients with septicemia. However, clinically similar infections have been published with fungi as etiologic agents. We present a case of an EG-like lesion due to Fusarium oxysporum confirmed by clinical diagnosis, culture and molecular identification and discuss the definition of EG.
坏疽性脓皮病(EG)表现为由细菌(主要是铜绿假单胞菌)引起的坏死性皮肤病变,通常见于患有败血症的免疫功能低下患者。然而,临床上已发表了以真菌为病原体的类似感染病例。我们报告一例经临床诊断、培养和分子鉴定确诊为由尖孢镰刀菌引起的类似EG病变的病例,并讨论EG的定义。
