Ecthyma gangrenosum: an important feature of pseudomonal sepsis in a previously well child
Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 06/16/09

Goolamali SI et al. - Ecthyma gangrenosum is a rare, distinctive skin disorder associated with potentially fatal underlying pseudomonal sepsis. Although typically occurring in neutropenic or immunocompromised patients, it can occasionally affect healthy children. The appearances are characteristic with small indurated vesicular papules progressing rapidly to infarcted necrotic areas with surrounding erythema and a typical black eschar. In young children, these are often accompanied by fever and diarrhoea.
