%X <strong>Background:</strong><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is an infrequent and
discernible cutaneous disease caused by </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Pseudomonas aeruginosa.</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> In
situations where it is associated with septicemia in debilitated patients, the
prognosis is usually u</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">nfavorable.</span></span></span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Objective:</span></b></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> In this case</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> we aim to verify risk factors,
clinic</span></span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">al,
bacteriological and therapeutic characteristics of ecthyma gangrenosum and w</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">e review the literature to highlight the features
of this rare condition and</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> discuss the role of early diagnosis and
treatment.</span></span></span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Case Report:</span></b></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> We describe the clinical case of a 4-year</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">-</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">old male with bone marrow aplasia</span></span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">who was presented with characteristic skin lesions
of EG and developed sepsis later.</span></span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Conclusion:</span></b></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> EG is a cutaneous disease characterized by its
aggressive nature. The presence of delayed diagnosis and therapy, along with
sepsis, is closely linked to a high mortality rate. Treatment is empirically
founded on an aggressive initial approach.</span></span>
