Abstract
Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is a clinical manifestation often linked with bloodstream infections caused by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This condition predominantly occurs in individuals with compromised immune systems, particularly those who have underlying malignancies or other conditions that weaken their ability to fight off infections effectively. Ecthyma gangrenosum typically presents as necrotic skin lesions, which can rapidly progress into deep ulcers with surrounding inflammation and tissue damage. Recognizing EG is crucial as it serves as a significant indicator of Pseudomonas septicemia, necessitating prompt and targeted medical intervention to address both the localized skin infection and the underlying systemic bacterial invasion. In this case report we present a case of Ecthyma gangrenosum, patient presented with complaints of papular, pustular gangrenous eruption on right leg with itching and sticky discharge. Itching aggravated onbed. After complete case taking and based on totality of symptoms and repertorisation Graphites 30/1Dose (water dose) followed with placebo 30/tds was prescribed.
