Acinetobacter baumannii orofacial cellulitis: report of two cases

Acinetobacter baumannii infection of skin and soft tissues is uncommon and usually associated with trauma. The present report describes two cases of cellulitis in the orofacial region, caused by an A. baumannii infection in paediatric patients, and with fatal outcome. A twelve-year-old male patient, diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia, presented an ulcerated lesion on the lip suggestive of local trauma. The condition evolved with cellulitis, epithelial necrosis and non-specific vesicles and blisters.
