Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a frequent pathogen of patients with chronic underlying disease in the hospital environment. This organism is, however, an extremely rare cause of either community-acquired pneumonia in a normal host, metastatic bacterial endophthalmitis or metastatic cutaneous pustules. We report here a case combining these three rare manifestations in a previously well young woman, to highlight the serious disease that may result from this pathogen and the difficulties of treatment.Keywords
