Abstract

Ecthymagangrenosum is a distinctive skin infection caused by P. aeruginosa bacteremia; it typically occurs in immunocompromised or critically ill patients. However, in previously healthy children with pseudomonas sepsis, the infection may be the first manifestation of underlying pathology, such as agammaglobulinemia. We report a case of echtymagangrenosum in previously healthy boy, leading to the diagnosis of agammaglobulinemia.
