Abstract

A case of right-sided Pseudomonas cepacia endocarditis in a heroin addict is presented in which septic cutaneous vasculitis (ecthyma gangrenosum) is a prominent feature. Ecthyma gangrenosum, most commonly associated with sepsis due to P aeruginosa, has not been previously described with P cepacia septicemia.
