Ecthyma gangrenosum is a skin condition associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa blood infections, characterized by lesions that rapidly progress from small red spots to larger nodules with tissue death. It results from bacteria invading the layers of blood vessels, so treatment requires antibiotics effective against P. aeruginosa.

ecthyma gangrenosum, which is commonly associated with P aeruginosa bacteremia.
Typically, the lesions of
ecthyma gangrenosum progress very rapidly from a small erythematous macule to larger, nontender nodules with necrosis. Ecthyma gangrenosum is caused by bacterial invasion through the media and adventitia of blood vessels, and as a result, appropriate treatment consists of antibiotic therapy that covers P aeruginosa.
