Non healing legs ulcers infected with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
Main Article Content
Abstract
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S.M.) is a Gram-negative bacillus, naturally resistant to cephalosporins and carbapenems, which can colonize different sites and may be responsible for serious infections for which treatment is a real challenge. This was rarely reported as cutaneous pathogenic organism causing cellulitis-like lesions, paronychia, mucocutaneous ulcers and ecthyma gangrenosum in immunocompromised individuals. We report a case of non-healing legs ulcer infected with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
