As an opportunistic pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis (PAS) mostly occurs in immunocompromised groups (eg, primary or acquired immunodeficiency, chronic disease, malignancy, or preterm infants). Community-acquired PAS in healthy hosts is uncommon. Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is an early characteristic cutaneous manifestation of PAS among a wide range of other clinical features. We report a pediatric case of PAS with EG in a previously healthy 11-month-old boy and review some pertinent literature.
