The patient developed a painful, necrotic skin lesion on the left tibia, which improved rapidly after empirical treatment with piperacillin/tazobactam. Blood cultures and fungal biomarkers were negative, but bacterial culture of a skin biopsy confirmed Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. The report emphasizes that in immunocompromised patients, rapidly progressing necrotic skin lesions should prompt immediate diagnostic evaluation and empirical antipseudomonal therapy. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study pictorial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
