Cutaneous Infections of the Patients with Malignancy

Cutaneous infections are a significant concern in patients with malignancies, due to immunocompromised from both the underlying disease and its treatment. This review aims to explore the etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical management challenges of cutaneous infections in cancer patients, focusing on viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens. Early recognition and accurate diagnosis are crucial in managing these infections. Treatment typically involves targeted antimicrobial therapies, with surgical intervention deemed necessary in severe cases.
