Article Synopsis
- Pseudomonal ecthyma gangrenosum is usually seen in immunosuppressed individuals but can be rare and serious when associated with specific antibiotic-resistant strains.
- The case discussed involves a 30-year-old woman with acute myeloid leukemia who developed a necrotic skin lesion post-chemotherapy, ultimately identified as colistin & carbapenem-resistant.
- Timely recognition and treatment with the right antibiotics and surgical intervention are crucial for recovery, especially in patients with compromised immune systems in hem-oncology.
