    Author: Reich HL, Williams Fadeyi D, Naik NS, Honig PJ, Yan AC.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 2004 May; 50(5 Suppl):S114-7. PubMed ID: 15097944.
    Abstract:
    Ecthyma gangrenosum is a cutaneous infection associated most commonly with pseudomonal sepsis in the patient who is immunocompromised. We describe an 8-month-old girl with acute myelocytic leukemia who developed perineal ecthyma gangrenosum caused by Citrobacter freundii, a gram-negative pathogen that has been rarely associated with cutaneous disease. We also review the literature to categorize the range of pseudomonal and nonpseudomonal pathogens associated with ecthyma gangrenosum.
