CLINICAL CASE OF PYODERMA GANGRENOSUM IN A FEMALE ADOLESCENT

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is the most severe type of pyoderma and is extremely rare among children and adolescents. Authors represent a clinical case of PG in a 14 years old female adolescent characterized by multiple sharply painful ulcerative defects with a pronounced tendency to peripheral growth. PG had arisen and proceeded further during the postoperative period against the background of iron deficiency anemia, chronic nonspecific nonulcerative colitis and a dysfunctional state of humoral immunity. Making a diagnosis, conducting differential diagnostics, identifying provoking factors, searching for concomitant somatic pathology, using a set of therapeutic measures made possible eliminating the PG clinical manifestations completely though development of the preventive measures and determination of the prognosis of the disease are difficult clinical tasks for pediatric practitioners nowadays.
