ABSTRACT
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD), a disorder of neutrophil function, is characterized by a defect in leukocyte adhesion to the endothelium. Recurrent infections in the skin, soft tissue, gingiva, and lungs due to Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella sp. are common in these patients. Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is an ulcer of skin and subcutaneous tissue with a black eschar and surrounding erythematous halo secondary to a bacterial infection. Here, we report an unusual presentation of LAD type-1 with extensive EG of perineum secondary to Staphylococcus hominis bacteremia treated successfully with combination of granulocyte transfusion and diversion colostomy.
