Cellulitis Left Lower Leg Secondary to Pseudomonas aeruginosa Bacteremia: A Case Report | Chapter 6 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 3

 Cellulitis is a non-necrotizing skin and subcutaneous tissue inflammation that usually occurs as a result of an acute infection. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a gram-negative bacillus, causes a wide spectrum of clinical diseases. However, it is most usually associated with a hospital-acquired sickness. After experiencing redness and heat in the mid-right lower thigh, a 45-year-old Saudi male experienced vesiculous bullae, scaling, and sloughing of the overlying skin, which led to vesiculous bullae, scaling, and sloughing. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found in the case, despite the fact that it was not a common suspect bacteria. It's possible that the infection was acquired in the community. Intravenous antibiotics and local hygiene therapies such as Vaseline (bactigrass) dressing and topical antibiotics were used to treat the patient conservatively. The patient improved and was released with the cellulitis completely resolved.
