Background: Necrotizing soft tissue infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in monomicrobian culture is rare. Aim: We present the case of a bullous bilateral form of Pseudomonas aeruginosa necrotizing skin infection in a renal transplantation recipient. Presentation of Case: A 40 year old female previously treated in a dermatology clinic was admitted for bilateral leg pain and cutaneous ulcers. Investigations led to the diagnosis of necrotizing soft tissue infection. Antimicrobial treatment was started but patient’s condition has worsened with the death few days after admission. Conclusion: The author draws attention to the need for knowledge of disease characteristics, multidisciplinary team approach and aggressive treatment.
