Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is a skin infection associated with fulminant bacteremia, usually in immunocompromised hosts. Specific and dynamically changing skin lesions are indicative of the condition and useful for diagnosis. The early manifestation of EG should be carefully observed as it mimics common cellulitis. Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is a well known cutaneous manifestation that most commonly affects immunosuppressed and burn patients 1, 2.

Ecthyma gangrenosum is characterized by rapidly progressing skin lesions that cause inflammation and necrosis of the skin, resulting in necrotic ulcers.
