This is a bacterial infection caused most commonly by Strep bacteria that same bacteria that cause the common sore throat. Usually easily killed by antibiotics, sometimes very strong variety of Strep occurs. This is the one that leads to life-threatening cases. (This can also be caused by other bacteria or bacteria mixture.) Bacteria destroy soft tissue at the subcutaneous, and often in combination with toxic shock syndrome, both mortally only together they are even more so. (If the muscle is destroyed, he necrotizing myositis).
How to get it? Most often the bacteria enters the body through a hole in the skin, often very small opening, even as a small paper cut, puncture head or contact member. It can also penetrate the skin, weakened as bruises, blister or abrasion. This can also occur after major trauma or surgery, and in some cases appear not to be identified entry points. Where does the bacteria come from? Most often it is transmitted by airborne droplets or direct contact with secretions rights of Strep A. For example, a person who carries Strep bacteria can not even symptoms occur or get sick at all. They cough or sneeze, another person has the bacteria on the hands or directly on the site of the wound and infection occurs. F. The patient will probably not be infectious, and inanimate objects is hardly the point of transfer. How can this be prevented? It may not necessarily be stopped, but you can reduce your chances of some basic rules of hygiene. Buy anti-bacterial soap and use it! With the onset point of view, cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, throw the tissue, wash hands frequently. You can be a carrier and not know. Fifteen to thirty percent of the population carries Strep at any given time is usually without symptoms. From the defense point of view: wash hands frequently, avoid contact with people showing symptoms of sore throat. Cleaning and care for even the smallest injury, using the antibiotic ointment and sterile covering with frequent changes. What are the symptoms? Symptoms are varied, but often include:
Early symptoms (usually within 24 hours): 1. Typically, minor injuries and skin openings occurred (the wound does not necessarily appear infected) 2. Some pain in the general area of injury is present. Not necessarily at the site of injury, but in the same region or limb of the body 3. The pain usually does not match the injury and could start something like a muscle pull, but becomes more and more painful, 4. Flu symptoms begin to occur, such as diarrhea, nausea, fever, confusion, dizziness, weakness and general malaise, 5. Strong thirst occurs as the body becomes dehydrated, 6. The biggest symptom of all these symptoms together. In general, you probably feel worse than you've ever felt and not understand why. ADVANCED symptoms (usually within 3-4 days): 7. Limbs or area of the body experiencing pain begins to swell and may show purple rash, 8. The ending can start big, dark marks that become blisters filled with fluid black 9. The wound may actually appear necrotic with blue, white or dark-colored, flaky appearance. Critical symptoms (usually within 4-5 days): 10. Blood pressure will drop severely, 11. The body begins to go into toxic shock from the toxins, bacteria, highlighting 12. Unconscious will occur as the body becomes too weak to fight this infection. When should I see a doctor? Every time all the early symptoms, a doctor immediately and insist that it is possible. In most cases, incorrect diagnosis. People said they fell when they do so, they had to wear casts on broken bones do not, they got Tylenol flu and told to return the next day, they said they have ingrown toenail, they said, that they have arthritis, they were accused of burning a ... Many of these people returned to the hospital two days later and died. Insist that it is possible if you have any early signs. Seventy-five percent of cases of wrong diagnosis. Insist that the infectious disease doctor to hear and evaluate your symptoms. Why so many cases of wrong diagnosis? As symptoms begin to look like so many other things. None of the symptoms are exclusive to this, and while the patient is so sick that they are important many health professionals do not consider NF. Although on the rise, it is rare, so many emergency rooms have never seen the case. How rare is it? There are various strattera prescription statistics. In 1996 CDC report estimates from 500 to 1500 cases per year necrotic fastsyyt, of which 20% die. In 1998 NNFF estimates figure should be higher (based on cases reported to us in comparison with the general population has Internet access, which, as all cases we get, as reported)
How is it treated? It should be assisted in the hospital because of antibiotic IV and aggressive surgical treatment (removal) of the affected tissue. Other treatments will take place depending on the level of toxicity or of which the patient feels. Drugs for high blood pressure, and anti-globulins are also used. Pressure chamber oxygen is sometimes used in certain cases. What is the likely outcome? Anywhere from minimal scars to death and everywhere in between. For those lucky enough to survive, often at least some skin removal is required. This often requires skin grafts. In addition, amputation is sometimes necessary to remove the affected limb. Feet, hands, fingers, toes, hands, all were sacrificed to save the life of patients with NF. What can reduce the risk of death and injury? Two words: timely diagnosis! What is being done to help promote early diagnosis? NNFF mission is education for public awareness, recognition of symptoms and preventive measures to provide resources to support research and provides support for victims of necrotizing fastsyyt. We hope that the projects in which we couple with medical staff, campaign service, and the influence of the media, we can reduce the serious consequences of NF. Information provided NNFF. .
