Article Synopsis
- Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is primarily a skin infection often seen in immunocompromised individuals, but it can also be caused by other bacteria or fungi in both immunocompromised and non-immunocompromised people.
- A case study of a 75-year-old woman revealed severe respiratory distress due to influenza A H1N1, which later led to the development of EG with ulcerated skin lesions as complications.
- The case highlights that EG can arise from various pathogens, emphasizing the need to consider fungal infections in such clinical scenarios.
