ecthyma gangrenosum
a condition most often seen in immunocompromised or debilitated patients in association with septicemia caused by gram-negative organisms such as gonococci, meningococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, or Pseudomonas; the lesions begin as vesicles and rapidly progress to pustulation and gangrenous ulcers with undermined purpuric edges.
