Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Anaerobic Bacterial Infection.
Abstract: Fournier's syndrome, a necrotizing subcutaneous infection of the male genitalia, is characterized by an explosive onset and a rapid evolution. It is caused by a synergistic interaction of several aerobe and anaerobe bacteria. The immediate institution of an...
Abstract: Gas gangrene is a general toxi-infection, which is mostly the result of a contamination of the muscles from traumatic or post-operative origin. Muscular necrosis expands very quickly, causes mutilations, hits several organs and leads to shock. The...
Abstract: Inhalation of pressurized 100% oxygen is a helpful adjunctive treatment for certain patients, because the increased oxygen carried by the blood to the tissue enhances new growth of microcirculation and, thus, healing. Patients with tissue breakdown after...

Abstract: This study describes the clinical course of a 31 year old woman who developed multiple anaerobic brain abscesses six days after tonsillectomy, followed by hemoparesis and dysarthria. In spite of craniotomy, repeated punctures and drainage of pus and high...
Abstract: Septicemia caused by anaerobic bacteria is indistinguishable from septicemia caused by aerobic bacteria. High age, origin in the gastrointestinal or genitourinary tract, malignancies and surgery or invasive, diagnostic procedures are indicative of anaerobic...
Abstract: The classic syndrome of Fournier's gangrene was observed in 5 men with involvement of the external genitals and lower abdominal wall. Mixed flora of anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms were grown, and extensive necrosis of the skin and subcutaneous gas were...
Abstract: Ten years' experience of a Regional Centre for Infectious Diseases in the use of hyperbaric oxygen in 87 patients have been reviewed. Its efficacy in the treatment of non-infectious cases has been confirmed. Fifty-eight (67 per cent) patients had anaerobic...
