Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Necrotizing Fasciitis
Neonatal necrotizing fasciitis: a report of three cases and review of the literature.
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a predominantly adult disorder, with bacterial infection of the soft tissue. In children, it is relatively rare and has a fulminant course with a high mortality rate. In the neonate, most cases of NF are attributable to...
Targeting lurking pathogens in acute traumatic and chronic wounds.
Abstract: The appropriate antimicrobial treatment for skin and soft tissue following acute trauma is determined by the mechanism of injury, time from injury to treatment, environmental wound contamination, pathogenicity of colonizing bacteria, and patient-specific...
Necrotizing fasciitis and gangrene of the upper extremity.
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe, fulminant infection most commonly encountered in patients with diabetes mellitus, alcohol abuse, and intravenous drug abuse. The infection can spread-unrecognized along fascial planes beneath seemingly normal skin. The...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the pediatric patient: the experience of the Israel Naval Medical Institute.
Abstract: The pediatric patient is to be found in hyperbaric facilities throughout the world, receiving hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy for both life-threatening and chronic diseases. To review the experience accumulated at the Israel Naval Medical Institute in the...
[A female case of Fournier’s gangrene in a patient with lupus nephritis].
Abstract: Infection is one of the common causes of death in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is associated with the use of immunosuppressive agents, renal failure, and increased disease activity. Fournier's gangrene is a necrotizing fasciitis...
Limb-threatening necrotizing alternariosis salvaged by adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: We describe, to our knowledge, the first case of limb-threatening necrotizing alternariosis whose limbs were successfully salvaged by adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2). This 58-y-old patient was immunocompromised with both diabetes and Cushing's...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for cutaneous/soft-tissue zygomycosis complicating diabetes mellitus.
Abstract: A 24-year-old female diabetic patient was hospitalized because of ketoacidosis and a necrotic wound on the hand. Debridement and antibiotic therapy failed to halt the process. After demonstration of Mucor in cultures from the wound, the patient underwent...
Magnetic resonance imaging in the early diagnosis of group A beta streptococcal necrotizing fasciitis: a case report.
Abstract: Early diagnosis of invasive group A beta streptococcal (GABS) infection has been achieved in a patient using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) complemented by needle aspiration. Life-saving treatments of GABS infection that include immediate surgical...
