It predominantly affects hospitalized, critically ill, or immunocompromised individuals, including patients with profound neutropenia, extensive thermal burns, hematologic malignancies, or indwelling medical devices

It predominantly affects hospitalized, critically ill, or immunocompromised individuals, including patients with profound neutropenia, extensive thermal burns, hematologic malignancies, or indwelling medical devices Clinically, it presents with hemodynamic instability, high fevers or hypothermia, tachypnea, and characteristic dermatologic manifestations such as ecthyma gangrenosum, carrying a high risk of progression to refractory septic shock and mortality

Pathophysiologically, the organism invades the vascular compartment—often seeding from primary pulmonary, urinary, surgical, or wound sources—releasing endotoxins and virulence factors that provoke systemic inflammation, microvascular thrombosis, tissue hypoperfusion, and multiorgan dysfunction
