摘要：

We present a case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis heralded by ecthyma gangrenosum in a previously healthy 15-month-old child. Pseudomonas infection and its uncommon skin manifestation are rarely encountered in an immunocompetent child. This case highlights the critical importance of identifying ecthyma gangrenosum to institute optimal antimicrobial therapy.
