Increased morbidities in pyoderma gangrenosum with extensive surgical debridement in Taiwan: a case series

This is the first study to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of PG in Taiwan in English to our knowledge. The results were mostly consistent with the existing literature, except an apparent male preponderance. Moreover, we highlight the importance of accurate diagnosis and avoidance of aggressive surgical debridement in patients with PG for both dermatologist and non-dermatologist.

Abstract

This is the first study to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of PG in Taiwan in English to our knowledge. The results were mostly consistent with the existing literature, except an apparent male preponderance. Moreover, we highlight the importance of accurate diagnosis and avoidance of aggressive surgical debridement in patients with PG for both dermatologist and non-dermatologist.
