AbstractSoft tissue infections vary widely in their nature and severity, and their nomenclature is confusing. A clear approach to management must allow rapid identification and treatment of the diffuse necrotizing infections because they are life‐threatening. This review classifies soft tissue infections by their degree of localization and the presence

Aggressive Soft Tissue Infections
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2018Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI) are characterized by rapidly progressive infection that causes tissue necrosis with associated sepsis and multisystem organ failure. A rapid diagnosis is essential to decreasing the morbidity and mortality of NSTIs. There must be a high index of suspicion based on history and physical examination.

Soft tissue infections are almost routinely the product of direct microbe inoculation through a bridged protective skin. Day of onset and clinical presentation reflect the causative pathogen(s) and course that should be taken in treatment. Exclusive of chronic states, only in the most fulminating cases are culture and antimicrobial drugs of any real ...

Infections in soft tissues present with one or more of the cardinal signs of infections; however, presence of these signs may indicate manifestation of a deep systemic infection or of a noninfectious process. One of the earliest determinations to be made is whether the problem is likely to require patient admission or referral to another specialty ...

Necrotizing Soft-Tissue Infections
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1994In 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
Medical Clinics of North America, 2022Necrotizing soft tissue infections are a diverse group of severe infections of the skin, fascia, and musculature. These infections are characterized by the rapid and progressive destruction of soft tissue, as well as high incidence of morbidity and mortality.

Necrotizing soft tissue infections
Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2007The purpose of this review is to consider recent advances in the definition, pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, and treatment of necrotizing soft tissue infections.The efficacy of early surgical debridement combined with antimicrobial therapy, close monitoring and physiologic support is strongly demonstrated.

Severe skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) frequently require management in the ICU, in part related to associated septic shock or toxic shock syndrome or associated organ failure. Four fundamental management principles are key to a successful outcome in caring for patients who have severe SSTIs, including (1) early diagnosis and differentiation of

Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections
Critical Care Clinics, 2013Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are infrequent yet highly lethal infections, and a high index of suspicion is required for early diagnosis. Diagnosing NSTIs early can be challenging, and knowledge of the available tools is essential to provide appropriate treatment.

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a potentially fatal infection of the skin and soft tissue. The early presentation may first appear as cellulitis. The skin stays intact in the early stages of NF; this leads to a deceptive benign appearance. The skin typically appears red, hot and exquisitely tender. Blisters may or may not be present.
