Necrotizing soft tissue infections

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2003
Necrotizing soft tissue infections are characterized by necrosis of skin and associated structures. Despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of these infections, the mortality remains high. There have been increasing reports of necrotizing fasciitis caused by group A Streptococcus over the past decade.

Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2012
Necrotising soft tissue infection (NSTI) presents unique challenges in diagnosis and management. The key to a successful outcome is a high index of suspicion in appropriate clinical settings. Type II NSTI tends to occur on an extremity in younger, healthier patients with a history of known trauma, and to be monomicrobial. Type I NSTI tends to occur on

Necrotizing Soft-Tissue Infections

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2000
Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare and often fatal soft-tissue infection involving the superficial fascial layers of the extremities, abdomen, or perineum. Necrotizing fasciitis typically begins with trauma; however, the inciting event may be as seemingly innocuous as a simple contusion, minor burn, or insect bite.

Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2021
Necrotizing soft tissue infections occur after traumatic injuries, minor skin lesions, nonpenetrating injuries, natural childbirth, and in postsurgical and immunocompromised patients. Infections can be severe, rapidly progressive, and life threatening. Survivors often endure multiple surgeries and prolonged hospitalization and rehabilitation.

Necrotizing Soft-Tissue Infections

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1994
In the realm of clinical practice, this disease entity defies applicability to any classification scheme. Of paramount importance is the early identification of all necrotizing soft-tissue infections. This requires a high index of suspicion, aided by recognition of various risk factors and organ system dysfunction out of proportion to the extent of ...

NECROTIZING SOFT-TISSUE INFECTIONS

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1992
Necrotizing soft-tissue infections have been widely recognized for over a century, but they remain a challenging problem in clinical infectious disease. Patterns of disease are clearly apparent, but most are polymicrobial and derive increased virulence from synergy between bacteria.

Bacteriologic Status of Necrotic Tissue in Necrotizing Pancreatitis

Pancreas, 1990
To confirm the accuracy of guided percutaneous aspiration (GPA) in distinguishing sterile from infected pancreatic necrosis, we have performed Brown-Brenn tissue Gram stains on pancreatic and peripancreatic necrotic tissue removed operatively in 15 patients.
