Leg ulcer due to Pseudomanas luteola in a patient with sickle cell disease

Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis. 2002 Feb;42(2):141-3. doi: 10.1016/s0732-8893(01)00336-4.

Abstract

Pseudomonas luteola is rarely implicated in clinical infections, usually in association with indwelling catheters or prostheses. This report describes the first case of deteriorated leg ulcer caused by a multiply antibiotic resistant P. luteola strain in a patient with homozygous sickle cell disease.
