Pseudomonas aeruginosa septic shock associated with ecthyma gangrenosum in an infant with agammaglobulinemia. (1/14)

Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a rare and invasive infection that can be associated with agammaglobulinemia. The cornerstone of the treatment is based on prompt recognition with appropriate antibiotic coverage and intravenous immunoglobulin. The authors report a case of EG emphasizing the clinical and therapeutic aspects of this condition.  (+info)

Severe persistent orf in young goats. (2/14)

Orf (contagious ecthyma) is a viral disease of small and wild ruminants, humans, and less frequently other species. In sheep and goats, the disease is characterized by the formation of vesiculo-proliferative lesions in the skin of lips and nostril. Here, a form of generalized orf in 16 goat kids from 2 different locations in west Texas is described. The disease was characterized by multifocal, severe, proliferative dermatitis that persisted from about 2 months of age until the goat kids were euthanized 3 months later. All affected goats were Boer or Boer crosses under 1 year of age. The mean immunoglobulin concentration in sera of affected goats was elevated compared with healthy control goats. Severe to moderate lymphadenomegaly of the nodes draining the areas of the skin affected with orf lesions was present in all 16 goat kids. Suppurative arthritis, chronic fibrinous pneumonia, and premature thymic involution were found in 3, 5, and 7 of the goat kids, respectively. The skin lesions of 3 goat kids were infested with larvae of the opportunistic black garbage fly (Ophira sp.). The orf virus was identified in skin lesions by isolation in Marbin-Darby ovine kidney cells, electron microscopy, and amplification of viral DNA by polymerase chain reaction. The orf virus was not detected in peripheral blood or lymph node mononuclear cells of any of the goats. Cross-neutralization experiments showed that an ovine orf virus antiserum raised in sheep was more effective in neutralizing a sheep orf virus isolate than a caprine orf virus isolate. The clinical and epidemiological characteristics of these orf cases may be the result of susceptibility factors within some individuals of the Boer breed of goats.  (+info)

Ecthyma gangrenosum: a rare cutaneous manifestation caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa without bacteraemia in a leukaemic patient--a case report. (3/14)

Ecthyma gangrenosum is a rare and invasive cutaneous infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the majority of cases, typically affecting immunocompromised patients, particularly those with neutropenia. We report a rare case of ecthyma gangrenosum in the absence of bacteraemia presenting as a solitary necrotic ulcer in a female patient with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. A culture from the ecthyma lesion revealed the presence of Pesudomonas aeruginosa, but the results of repeated blood cultures were negative. The patient responded well to amikacin to which the isolate was susceptible in vitro. Considering high rate of mortality, early diagnosis and prompt effective treatment is mandatory.  (+info)

CD-3 positive extranodal T-cell lymphoma of nasal type with skin involvement. (4/14)

A 40-year-old previously healthy lady presented with nasal obstruction and localized plaques over the right arm. She developed complete nasal obstruction due to a mass in the right nasal cavity and skin lesions that ulcerated to present as ecthyma gangrenosum like lesions. Patient's condition deteriorated fast and she developed icterus with fatal outcome within 4 weeks of developing skin lesions. Nasal and skin biopsy revealed angiocentric T-cell lymphoma, which on immuno-phenotyping revealed CD-3 positive; and CD-20, CD-30, ALK and EMA negativity. She was seronegative for HIV. Final diagnosis of CD-3 positive extranodal T-cell lymphoma of nasal type was made. Extranodal T-cell lymphomas are very aggressive NHLs with poor prognosis. Prognosis depends on histology, stage of the disease and sites of involvement. NK/T cell lymphoma of nasal type is common with EBV association. Skin involvement is rare and is also an indicator of poor prognosis.  (+info)

Ecthyma gangrenosum: a manifestation of Pseudomonas sepsis in three paediatric patients. (5/14)

Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis rarely occurs in healthy children. In immunocompromised children, it usually carries a high mortality rate. Ecthyma gangrenosum is a known cutaneous manifestation of Pseudomonas septicaemia. Three paediatric cases of Pseudomonas aeruginosa septicaemia with ecthyma gangrenosum were retrospectively reviewed. The three patients were aged seven years, seven months, and five months, respectively. An underlying disease of hypogammaglobulinaemia was present in the oldest patient. Blood cultures grew Pseudomonas aeruginosa in all three patients. All underwent repeated wound debridement and received intravenous ceftazidime and an aminoglycoside for a minimum of two weeks. One needed colostomy and subsequent posterior sagittal anorectoplasty as a result of complete obliteration of the anal canal from the ecthyma. There was no mortality. In conclusion, Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis should be treated early. Recognition of ecthyma gangrenosum as a manifestation of this problem can allow early institution of the appropriate antibiotics before culture results.  (+info)

Contagious ecthyma in man. (6/14)

The virus of contagious ecthyma of sheep and goats is transmissible to man. The human infection is a relatively benign, self-limited disease. It is frequently encountered in sheep-raising areas among persons handling infected animals or the vaccine. Usually only protective treatment is required, but x-ray therapy will produce prompt regression of the skin lesions.  (+info)

 (+info)

Ecthyma is a deep skin infection that penetrates below the superficial skin layer (dermis) and is characterized by the formation of ulcers or crusty lesions. It is typically caused by group A Streptococcus or Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and can occur in individuals with compromised immune systems, poor hygiene, or exposure to unhygienic conditions.

The infection usually begins as a papule or pustule, which then develops into a shallow ulcer with a necrotic base and raised edges. The lesion may be painful, pruritic (itchy), and can take several weeks to heal, often leaving scars. In severe cases, ecthyma can lead to complications such as lymphangitis, cellulitis, or bacteremia.

Treatment typically involves the use of systemic antibiotics, topical antiseptics, and wound care to promote healing and prevent scarring. Preventive measures include maintaining good hygiene, prompt treatment of skin injuries, and addressing underlying conditions that may increase the risk of infection.

Contagious ecthyma is a skin infection caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes or Staphylococcus aureus. It is also known as "contagious pustular dermatosis" or "infectious ecthyma." The infection typically affects exposed areas of the body, such as the hands and feet, and causes lesions that progress from papules to pustules, then to shallow ulcers with a necrotic base.

The infection is spread through direct contact with infected individuals or contaminated objects. It is more common in people with weakened immune systems, poor hygiene, or who live in crowded conditions. Contagious ecthyma can be treated with antibiotics, either topical or systemic, and good wound care to prevent secondary infections. If left untreated, the infection can lead to complications such as cellulitis, lymphangitis, or bacteremia.

Orf virus, also known as contagious ecthyma virus, is a member of the Parapoxvirus genus in the Poxviridae family. It primarily affects sheep and goats, causing a contagious skin disease characterized by papules, vesicles, pustules, and scabs, mainly on the mouth and legs. The virus can also infect humans, particularly those who handle infected animals or consume raw meat from an infected animal. In human cases, it typically causes a papular or pustular dermatitis, often on the hands, fingers, or forearms. The infection is usually self-limiting and resolves within 4-6 weeks without scarring.

Gangrene is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when there is a loss of blood flow to a specific area of the body, resulting in tissue death. It can be caused by various factors such as bacterial infections, trauma, diabetes, vascular diseases, and smoking. The affected tissues may become discolored, swollen, and emit a foul odor due to the accumulation of bacteria and toxins.

Gangrene can be classified into two main types: dry gangrene and wet (or moist) gangrene. Dry gangrene develops slowly and is often associated with peripheral arterial disease, which reduces blood flow to the extremities. The affected area turns black and shriveled as it dries out. Wet gangrene, on the other hand, progresses rapidly due to bacterial infections that cause tissue breakdown and pus formation. This type of gangrene can spread quickly throughout the body, leading to severe complications such as sepsis and organ failure if left untreated.

Treatment for gangrene typically involves surgical removal of the dead tissue (debridement), antibiotics to control infections, and sometimes revascularization procedures to restore blood flow to the affected area. In severe cases where the infection has spread or the damage is irreversible, amputation of the affected limb may be necessary to prevent further complications and save the patient's life.

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare, inflammatory skin condition that typically begins as a small pustule or blister, which then rapidly progresses to form painful ulcers with a characteristic violaceous (bluish-purple) undermined border. The etiology of pyoderma gangrenosum is not entirely clear, but it's often associated with an underlying systemic disease, such as inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or hematologic disorders.

The pathophysiology of pyoderma gangrenosum involves a dysregulated immune response and neutrophil-mediated tissue damage. Diagnosis is often based on the clinical presentation and exclusion of other conditions with similar lesions. Treatment typically includes systemic immunosuppressive therapy, such as corticosteroids, cyclosporine, or biologic agents, along with local wound care to promote healing and prevent infection.

It's important to note that pyoderma gangrenosum can be a challenging condition to manage, and a multidisciplinary approach involving dermatologists, internists, and surgeons may be necessary for optimal care.

Pseudomonas infections are infections caused by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa or other species of the Pseudomonas genus. These bacteria are gram-negative, opportunistic pathogens that can cause various types of infections, including respiratory, urinary tract, gastrointestinal, dermatological, and bloodstream infections.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common cause of healthcare-associated infections, particularly in patients with weakened immune systems, chronic lung diseases, or those who are hospitalized for extended periods. The bacteria can also infect wounds, burns, and medical devices such as catheters and ventilators.

Pseudomonas infections can be difficult to treat due to the bacteria's resistance to many antibiotics. Treatment typically involves the use of multiple antibiotics that are effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In severe cases, intravenous antibiotics or even hospitalization may be necessary.

Prevention measures include good hand hygiene, contact precautions for patients with known Pseudomonas infections, and proper cleaning and maintenance of medical equipment.
