Necrotizing Fasciitis (Flesh-Eating Disease)
Since the mid-1980s, concern has grown that invasive group A Streptococci (GAS) has been increasing in incidence and severity. Invasive infections caused by group A Streptococcus or Streptococcus pyogenes include sepsis, arthritis, pneumonia, meningitis, necrotizing fasciitis (NF) and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). GAS also causes noninvasive suppurative disease as pharyngitis and o...
متن کاملUnusual "flesh-eating" strain of Escherichia coli.
We report an exceptional case of life-threatening Escherichia coli-induced necrotizing fasciitis. A combined host-pathogen genetic analysis explained the phenotype: the host displayed a susceptibility to intravascular coagulation, and the strain was capable of producing a necrotic toxin (cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1), showing how E. coli can be a dermonecrotic pathogen.
متن کاملUnusual "flesh-eating" strains of Escherichia coli.
Monomicrobial necrotizing fasciitis (type II) is typically caused by group A streptococcus alone or in combination with Staphylococcus aureus. Escherichia coli has been isolated from polymicrobial or Fournier's gangrene but has rarely been reported in monomicrobial necrotizing fasciitis. We describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of seven cases of monomicrobial E. coli necrotizing fa...
متن کاملFlesh-eating Dual-oral Fungal Infection
Context: Mucormycosis is a rare acute opportunistic fungal infection with a high mortality rate. It is commonly seen in immunocompromised individuals. Aims: Oral manifestation of mucormycosis is rare. When it does occur, it commonly affects the palate followed by alveolus. Settings and design: The representative tissue received was 10% formalin fixed, 3 × 3 cm in diameter, and floated on the su...
متن کاملSpreading factors of Mycoplasma alligatoris, a flesh-eating mycoplasma.
Mycoplasma alligatoris causes lethal invasive disease of alligators and caimans. A homolog of the nagH gene, encoding a hyaluronidase secreted by Clostridium perfringens, and a C. perfringens hyaluronidase nagI or nagK pseudogene were discovered in the M. alligatoris genome. The nagH gene was detected by PCR in the closest relative of M. alligatoris, Mycoplasma crocodyli, but not in 40 other sp...
