  • Title: Pyoderma gangrenosum in an infant.
    Author: Torrelo A, Colmenero I, Serrano C, Vilanova A, Naranjo R, Zambrano A.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2006; 23(4):338-41. PubMed ID: 16918628.
    Abstract:
    Pyoderma gangrenosum is rare in children and very rare in infants less than 1 year of age. We report Pyoderma gangrenosum in a 6-month-old girl without any associated disorders, which was well controlled with oral prednisone. This entity in infants usually presents with multiple lesions, mainly located on the face, buttocks, thighs, and extremities, which in some instances are associated with pathergy. Pyoderma gangrenosum in infants has a good response to therapy, and healing is usually achieved.
