title: A Case of Congenital Folliculitis Caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a Preterm Neonate.
abstract: Intrauterine infections are associated with life-threatening neonatal conditions such as sepsis, intracranial hemorrhage, and chronic lung disease. Herein we present a case of generalized congenital folliculitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a preterm neonate of 27 weeks gestational age successfully treated with antibiotics. Folliculitis is an important manifestation of intrauterine P. aeruginosa infection, and prompt, effective treatment is crucial to ensuring a good prognosis.
