O ectima gangrenoso é uma infecção da pele com potencial risco de vida em pacientes imunocomprometidos por doença ou terapia imunossupressora. É mais comumente causada por Pseudomonas aeruginosa, embora uma variedade de outros organismos possam estar implicados. É caracterizada por máculas ou placas eritematosas geralmente indolores que progridem para formação de bolhas hemorrágicas e necrose da pele. As lesões podem ser múltiplas e amplamente disseminadas, embora a área anogenital seja um local comum. As Pseudomonas podem frequentemente ser cultivadas a partir do sangue. | |||
