Pseudomonas folliculitis.
Thirty-three patients were shown to have gram-negative folliculitis due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In nine women the eruption was mild and self-limited, occurring after depilation of the legs. The remaining twenty-four patients had recurrent papular skin rashes that were resistant to therapy and lasted between three months and three years. Circumstantial evidence implicated the hospital environment as the probable source of infection.
