Abstract

Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is a cutaneous infection commonly associatedwith pseudomonal sepsis but may be associated with other infectious agents.We are presenting a woman who developed ecthyma gangrenosum caused byEcherichia coli with septic shock. Septic shock still confers a high mortality rate,especially when diagnosis and therapy is delayed. All foci of infection shouldbe closely inspected. Skin and soft tissue lesions may also be the cause. Fortreatment success, source control is indispensible and surgical interventionshould not be delayed if needed.

Özet

Ektima gangrenozum (EG) çoğunlukla pseudomonal sepsis ile izlenen bir kütanöz enfeksiyon olmakla beraber başka enfeksiyöz ajanlarla da birlikte izlenebilmektedir. Bizler; Echerichia coli enfeksiyonuna bağlı ektima gangrenozum ve septik şok tanısıyla takip ettiğimiz hastayı sunmayı amaçladık. Septik şok halen özellikle tanı ve tedavisi geciktiğinde yüksek mortalite hızına sahip bir tablodur. Tüm enfeksiyon odaklarının dikkatle gözden geçirilmesi gerekmektedir. Deri ve yumuşak doku enfeksiyonlarının da odak olabileceği unutulmamalıdır. Tedavinin başarısı için; odak kontrolü vazgeçilmezdir ve gerektiğinde cerrahi uygulama geciktirilmemelidir.
