Non-pseudomonal Ecthyma Gangrenosum and Idiopathic Myelofibrosis in a Two-Year-Old Girl.

Ecthyma gangrenosum is a skin lesion consequent to bacteremia, mostly due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, although it may develop secondary to other organisms as well. The disease is often witnessed in patients with leukemia; however, a few cases of ecthyma gangrenosum in adults were reported to be associated with myelofibrosis. We report a case of ecthyma gangrenosum due to Escherichia coli (E. coli) in a two-year-old girl with idiopathic myelofibrosis.
