Abstract
A 2-month-old premature infant was admitted to our pediatric intensive care unit because of severe Pseudomonas aeruginosa septicemia, in cri tical condition. A circular perianal lesion consistent with ecthyma ga ngrenosum developed and was treated conservatively, To our knowledge, the therapeutic dilemma between conservative and surgical management o f this lesion has not been previously reported.
