Pyoderma gangrenosum is rare in infants. This case report details a successful treatment of infant pyoderma gangrenosum using pulse therapy with intravenous dexamethasone and intralesional triamcinolone acetonide.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dermatology
  • Clinical Case Reports

Background:

  • Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare, ulcerative neutrophilic dermatosis.
  • Infantile PG is exceptionally uncommon, presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • A six-month-old female infant presented with clinical features suggestive of pyoderma gangrenosum.
  • The infant's lesions were rapidly progressing and non-responsive to initial conservative management.

Findings:

  • The infant demonstrated a significant clinical response to a treatment regimen of pulse therapy with intravenous dexamethasone.
  • Adjunctive intralesional triamcinolone acetonide further aided in lesion resolution and healing.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential efficacy of systemic and intralesional corticosteroids in managing infantile pyoderma gangrenosum.
