AB  - A  13-year-old  boy  is  hospitalized  while  receiving  induction  therapy  for  acute  myelogenous  leukemia.  During  a  period  of  profound  neutropenia,  he  develops  a  fever  of  39°C  associated  with  rigors.  Blood  cultures  are  taken  and  he  is  given  broad-spectrum  antibiotics.  Over  the  next  48  hours,  a  tender,  erythematous  2  ×  2  cm  papule  develops  on  his  arm,  the  center  of  which  becomes  vesicopustular  (Figure  107-1).  Blood  cultures  from  the  initial  febrile  period  are  subsequently  positive  for  Pseudomonas  aeruginosa.  He  is  treated  with  combination  therapy  including  piperacillin/tazobactam  and  gentamicin  for  two  weeks  until  neutrophil  recovery.
