Abstract
Infection-induced panniculitis develops either through direct inoculation or as a manifestation of sepsis. However, it has rarely been considered as a disease entity within broader context of panniculitis. Moreover, panniculitis associated with a cardiac abscess without the evidence of sepsis has not been reported. We describe a case of infection-induced panniculitis associated with a cardiac abscess. We suggest that infection should be considered as a potentially important etiology of panniculitis, especially in the case of immunosuppression, and in such a case, meticulous efforts should be done to find the focus of infection.
