Pseudomonas aeruginosa is usually the responsible agent for epidemics of folliculitis acquired in swimming pools and whirlpools. Sporadic cases of Pseudomonas folliculitis after epilation of the legs are well known by dermatologists, but unfrequently reported in the literature.
We report the case of a 18-year-old female affected of folliculitis of the legs caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, after depilation. A meticulous investigation of contaminant sources was performed, and the responsible was the sponge used to wash the legs after depilation.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa folliculitis after depilation is more frequent than usually reported. A meticulous study of the concomitant source of contamination is essential to avoid recurrent episodes.
铜绿假单胞菌通常是游泳池和漩涡浴缸中获得性毛囊炎流行的病原体。皮肤科医生熟知腿部脱毛后偶发的铜绿假单胞菌毛囊炎病例，但文献报道较少。
我们报告一例18岁女性在脱毛后发生由铜绿假单胞菌引起的腿部毛囊炎。对污染源进行了细致调查，发现罪魁祸首是脱毛后用于清洗腿部的海绵。
脱毛后铜绿假单胞菌毛囊炎比通常报道的更为常见。对伴随污染源进行细致研究对于避免复发至关重要。
