Case Report of an Uncommon Dermatologic Manifestation of Disseminated <i>Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia</i> Infection in a Patient With Aplastic Anemia

We present a case of ecthyma gangrenosum caused by <i>Stenotrophomonas maltophilia</i> in an immunocompromised patient with aplastic anemia and on antithymocyte globulin therapy, cyclosporine, and methylprednisolone treatment. We also conducted a brief literature review on ecthyma gangrenosum caused by <i>Stenotrophomonas maltophilia</i> to determine optimal treatment and expected duration of therapy for infection management. This report highlights the key clinical challenges in determining optimal treatment duration for this uncommon condition taking into account underlying host factors.

Abstract

We present a case of ecthyma gangrenosum caused by <i>Stenotrophomonas maltophilia</i> in an immunocompromised patient with aplastic anemia and on antithymocyte globulin therapy, cyclosporine, and methylprednisolone treatment. We also conducted a brief literature review on ecthyma gangrenosum caused by <i>Stenotrophomonas maltophilia</i> to determine optimal treatment and expected duration of therapy for infection management. This report highlights the key clinical challenges in determining optimal treatment duration for this uncommon condition taking into account underlying host factors.
