Ecthyma gangrenosum-like eruption associated with Morganella morganii infection

J Del Pozo et al. Br J Dermatol. 1998 Sep.

Abstract

Ecthyma gangrenosum is considered as a pathognomonic sign of Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis. Lesions similar to ecthyma gangrenosum may be caused by other organisms. We report a case of an ecthyma gangrenosum-like eruption caused by Morganella morganii, a Gram-negative bacillus.
