Ecthyma gangrenosum is an exceedingly rare dermatologic complication of bacteremia or fungemia in immunocompromised patients. The lesions may be single or multiple and may occur anywhere on the body. We present a case of ecthyma gangrenosum with atypical organisms and risk factors resulting in delayed diagnosis of both the condition and the underlying infectious process that caused it. Despite the atypical findings, the diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy and tissue culture.
坏疽性脓皮病是免疫功能低下患者菌血症或真菌血症极为罕见的皮肤并发症。病变可为单个或多个,可发生于身体任何部位。我们报告一例坏疽性脓皮病,其病原体不典型且存在危险因素,导致对该疾病及其潜在感染过程的诊断延迟。尽管有非典型表现,但活检和组织培养确诊了该疾病。
