Three babies who developed infection in their median sternotomy wounds are reported. In one child, a retrosternal abscess was drained and in the other two cases, the wounds dehisced. The wound cavities were filled with a rectus abdominis myocutaneous island flap and in each case, the wounds healed primarily.

Abstract 1. 1. The increase in wound infection on a surgical service led to a study of possible sources. 2. 2. The infection rate has no relation to monthly admission rate, number of “dirty” cases admitted or number of operative procedures. 3. 3. Staph.

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1995A prospective study of postoperative wound infection was carried out over a two year period in Cumhuriyet University Medicine Faculty Hospital in Sivas, Turkey. Examination of wounds, with cultures of all suspicious wounds using standard bacteriological methods was performed. Of a total of 4146 surgical wounds, 188 (4.53%), became infected.

Wound infection surveillance is the information-gathering arm of a wound infection control program. Wound infection control concerns prevention--not therapy--of an infrequent but expensive kind of surgical morbidity. Topics discussed in this article include the effectiveness of wound infection surveillance; turf issues; phenomenology; and the gathering,

Deep sternal wound infections (DSWI) continue to be a relatively uncommon event occurring in about 1%-2% of all patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, the sheer number of cardiac surgery patients and the relatively high mortality associated with DSWIs makes them of clinical relevance.

Ninety-seven of 763 patients admitted to a burn center during a 3-year period had histologically confirmed bacterial or fungal burn wound invasion. Nine of these 97 patients survived and 88 died. Burn wound infection was the principal cause of death in 57 patients and was diagnosed perimortem in an additional 31 patients but was not judged to be the ...

We have reported a gonococcal infection in a surgical incision made ten months before the onset of urethral discharge. Gonococcal wound infections may arise from direct contamination or possibly by blood-borne dissemination. Principles guiding therapy are similar to those for wound infections from other organisms, with attention to adequate drainage ...

Journal of Wound Care, 1998
Clinicians face many dilemmas when working with infected and non-healing wounds and there is still considerable debate as to what the aim of treating such patients should be. Should it be to eradicate specific pathogenic organisms? Or should it be to reduce the bacterial burden present in or on wounds?

Wound infections remain a major source of postoperative morbidity, accounting for about a quarter of the total number of nosocomial infections. Today, many of these infections are first recognized in the outpatient clinic or in the patient's home due to the large number of operations done in the outpatient setting.
