Pemetrexed is a chemotherapeutic, antimetabolite agent that has been used in oncology to treat diseases such as metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma. Pemetrexed use may result in pseudocellulitis, which presents as poorly demarcated patches or plaques with erythema, edema, warmth, and tenderness. These lesions can present unilaterally or bilaterally on the lower extremities.

Article Synopsis
- Congenital neutropenia is a primary immunodeficiency marked by low neutrophil counts and can be mild to severe; hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a potential treatment but can lead to complications like graft-versus-host disease.
- A case of a 2-year-old girl with congenital neutropenia who developed scalp abscesses and cellulitis was reported, and after a transplant procedure, she was diagnosed with graft-versus-host disease, which ultimately led to her death.
- Graft-versus-host disease is a serious concern in stem cell transplants, highlighting the importance of early recognition and effective management to reduce risks of high morbidity and mortality.

Often these changes are mistaken for signs of infection and are misdiagnosed as 'cellulitis'. This potentially results in unwarranted use of antibiotics.
