 Introduction
• Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare inflammatory skin
condition.

• Causes tissue to become necrotic, leaving deep ulcerative

lesions.

• Associated with underlying diseases and surgical procedures

trauma.
 Method
• To calculate the speed of healing :

• Research was done on 179 patients.

• Lesion measurements done physically and digitally.

 Result
• Speed of healing, IGA, and resolution of inflammation were
all shown to be good predictors of eventual healing.

• Inflammatory bowel disease was the most frequent comorbid

association.

• Patients that underwent invasive procedures have higher

risks to develop pyoderma gangrenosum.
 Conclusion
Main Article :

Supporting Articles :

• Underlying diseases determines prognosis and mortality

rates of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG).

• Risks of recurrence are higher in patients with history of PG.
