Abstract
Bullous cellulitis is most often caused by beta-hemolytic streptococci and rarely by other bacteria such as Roseomonas gilardii. We described a case of a 75-year-old female who acquired bullous cellulitis secondary to R. gilardii bacteremia. She presented with multiple, raised skin lesions all over her body. She was afebrile. Her physical examination revealed leucocytosis predominant granulocytes count. She also had anemia (9.4 g/dL) and raised C-reactive protein. During admission, she was treated with intravenous ampicillin/sulbactam and subsequently changed to oral ciprofloxacin following discharge. She fully recovered in two weeks.
