Abstract:
Gram-negative toeweb infections have clinical manifest,ations of variable severity. In its mildest form, the affected tissue is damp, softened, boggy and white. But. more severe form may progress to marked denudation of second, third and fourth toewebs with a profuse serous or purulent discharge, and its treatment is difficult. We described a 39-year-old man who had ulcerated arid oozing patches on several toewebs. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was detected in bacterial cultures. We successfullg treated with split-thickness skin graft, and enoxacin on first, visit and enoxacin with gentamicin ointment, for 2 weeks on second visit.
