Abstract
|
|
|
|
Klebsiella pneumonia is an opportunistic pathogen that can lead to severe diseases such as septicemia, pneumonia, urinary and hepatobiliary track infection, in mainly hospitalized, immunocompromised patients. It has been reported to produce cellulitis, ecthyma gangrenosum in cutaneous manifestions, which are more commonly induced by bacteremia and spreading from other internal organs than primary inoculation. Herein, we present a case of a 75-year-old man with aplastic anemia, which progressed to septic shock and secondary cutaneous infection caused by Klebsiella pneumonia, but showed similar skin lesions to systemic fungal infection with dispersed erythematous macules and vesicular change on the center of his erythema.
