Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare infection that characterized by rapidly progressing necrosis into the superficial and deep tissues. NF can result in serious morbidity mortality as life-threatening condition. Early diagnosis one of most important factors reducing mortality. Therefore, we aimed to describe case severe necrotizing left arm after tetanus vaccination administration discuss bene...

Orf is a rare viral zoonosis due to Parapoxvirus infection. Transmission humans occurs through contact with infected goats and sheep. It may be complicated by fever, lymphangitis, lymphadenopathy, bacterial infection, erythema multiforme. Only several cases of autoimmune bullous dermatoses have been described. Bullous pemphigoid secondary an orf was found in ten patients. Herein, we report one ...

A 48-year-old woman presented to our emergency department with fever and a severe painful erythematous ecchymotic skin lesion on the third finger of left hand, that rapidly evolved into haemorrhagic bullae diffuse swelling edema all her associated onset lymphangitis in arm crescendo-like pain. She denied trauma or insect bite. Her past medical history was unremarkable, except for chilblains no ...

Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening soft tissue infection that results in rapid local tissue destruction. Type 1 necrotizing fasciitis is characterized by polymicrobial, synergistic infections that are caused by non-Group A streptococci, aerobic and anaerobic organisms. Type 2 necrotizing fasciitis involves Group A Streptococcus (GAS) with or without a coexisting staphylococcal infectio...

Necrotizing soft tissue infection is a severe illness that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It is often caused by a wide spectrum of pathogens and is most frequently polymicrobial. Care for patients with necrotizing soft tissue infection requires a team approach with expertise from critical care, surgery, reconstructive surgery, and rehabilitation specialists. The early d...

OBJECTIVE To determine the accuracy of ultrasonography for the diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis. METHODS This study was a prospective observational review of patients with clinically-suspected necrotizing fasciitis presenting to the emergency department of an urban (Taipei) medical center between October 1996 and May 1998. All patients underwent ultrasonographic examination, with the ultras...

Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening, soft tissue infection and an early diagnosis is needed to permit a prompt surgical and medical intervention. Due to the high fatal potential of the disease complications, the radiologist should distinguish necrotizing fasciitis from the most common soft tissue infections, in order to permit a prompt surgical and medical treatment. We present a case o...

Necrotizing enterocolitis is common in preterm and low birth weight infants but rare beyond the neonatal period. Various infectious agents including bacterial and viral organisms have been implicated in its pathogenesis. Rotavirus has recently been shown to be associated with necrotizing enterocolitis. In this report we describe two irlfants with congenital cardiac disease who developed ficlmin...
