[Multiple well demarcated skin erosions and ulcers following exanthematous drug eruption after sultamicillin therapy].

This article presents the case of a patient with newly developed skin erosions and ulcerations following an exanthematous drug eruption due to sultamicillin therapy. The skin lesions were treated topically with clobetasol and prednicarbate and orally with methylprednisolone. A skin smear revealed massive growth of Escherichia coli bacteria. Blood cultures were negative. The cause for developing ecthyma gangrenosum in our patient were iatrogenic immunosuppression and transient bacteremia.
