The clinical features of panniculitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, in contrast to those caused by ecthyma gangrenosum, remain unknown. Here, we report a pediatric case of P. aeruginosa panniculitis. The patient had systemic involvement without bacteremia and also had a background of autoimmune neutropenia. These features are common in ecthyma gangrenosum but have not been reported in P. aeruginosa-induced panniculitis.
