Resumo(s)
Ecthyma is an ulcerative skin infection, usually caused by group A
beta-hemolytic Streptococcus.
High temperatures and humidity facilitate the development of the
disease, which is particularly common among travelers returning
from tropical countries. Early diagnosis and adequate treatment,
with systemic antibiotics and local intervention, is essential to
minimize the risk of complications.
The authors present the case of an 11-year-old boy with exuberant
ecthyma lesions conditioning severe pain, which prevented walking.
