Popis:	Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia and recovery with treatment are rare in healthy individuals. We report the case of a 59-year-old man with P aeruginosa skin infection and sepsis, later giving rise to necrotizing pneumonia by hematogenous spread. He responded to prolonged intensive care and 3 weeks of piperacillin-tazobactam and tobramycin therapy. There was no evidence of immunosuppression other than that caused by alcoholism in this unusual case. The resulting cavity healed completely by fibrosis in 1 year.
