Abstract

Fournier’s gangrene is a rare, necrotising fasciitis of the genitals and perineum caused by a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms. The complications of this synergistic infection are multiple organ failure and death. Due to the agg-ressive nature of this condition, early diagnosis is crucial. Treatment involves extensive soft tissue debridement and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Despite appropriate therapy, mortality is high. Here we report a case of an elderly man who applied to Accident and Emergency Unit with ureosepsis and necrotic perineal areas.

Özet

Fournier gangreni, genital bölgenin ve perinenin aerobik ve anaerobik bakterilere bağlı olarak gelişen ve nadir görülen nekrotizan fasiitidir. Bu sinerjistik infeksiyon multipl organ disfonksiyonu ve ölüm gibi ciddi komplikasyonlara yol açmaktadır. Bu hastalığın doğal olarak agressif tedavisi için öncelikli olan tanının erken konmasıdır. Tedavideki asıl nokta, geniş doku debritmanı ile birlikte geniş spektrumlu antibiyoterapinin uygulanmasıdır. Tedaviye rağmen mortalite yüksek seyretmektedir. Bu olguda ürosepsis ve genital bölgede mevcut nekrotik lezyonla acile başvuran yaşlı bir erkek hasta irdelenmiştir.
