Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis with ecthyma gangrenosum due to Escherichia coli
Abstract:
Ecthyma gangrenosum caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) occurred in a decompensated alcoholic cirrhotic patient with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis due to the same organism. Ecthyma is usually associated with systemic sepsis from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Isolated instances due to other bacteria have been reported, but its occurrence in spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, of which the predominant causative organism is E. coli, is unique. The frequency, varied etiology, and pathogenesis of ecthyma are briefly reviewed.
