Abstract

Necrotising soft tissue infections (NSTI) usually occur after surgical intervention or injury and, while these are rare, the mortality rate is high. NSTI also occur in imunosuppressive patients and diabetics with no wounds. In this study we discuss the case of a 55 year old diabetic male patient who developed NSTI in the thoracoabdominal wall and who later died. This patient had no history of trauma or surgical intervention for explaining of etiology, and had used insulin for diebetes mellitus for six years. The necrotising soft tissue infection covered the whole of the thoracoabdominal wall. He received intensive treatment with antibiotics after radical debritment but died three days after surgery due to septic shock and multiple organ failure. NSTI of the torachoabdominal wall are rare in the literature. In this patient there were no obvious predisposing factors for NSTI but it is possible that the localisation and spread of the infection could have been responsible for his death, and we think that it needs large case series.

Özet

Nekrotizan yumuşak doku enfeksiyonları (NYDE) nadir görülen ancak mortalite hızı yüksek olan enfeksiyonlardır. NYDE ler genellikle cerrahi bir müdahale veya yaralanma sonrasında oluşurlar. İmmünsüpresiflerde ve diyabetiklerde herhangi bir yara olmadan da ortaya çıkabilirler. Bu çalışmada 55 yaşında, diyabetik bir erkek hastada gelişen ve tüm torakoabdominal duvarı tutan fetal seyirli bir NYDE olgusu literatür eşliğinde tartışılmıştır. Olgumuzda NYDE etyolojisini aydınlatacak travma veya cerrahi girişim öyküsü yoktu. Altı yıldır diyabetes mellitus nedeni ile insülin kullandığı öğrenilen hastanın tüm torakoabdominal duvarı tutan NYDE mevcuttu. Radikal debritman yapılarak yoğun antibiyotik tedavisi uygulanan hasta postoperatif 3. gün septik şok ve çoklu organ yetmezliği nedeni ile kaybedildi. Toraks duvarını veya karın ön duvarını tutan NYDE olguları nadirdir. Tüm torakoabdominal duvarı tutan NYDE ile ilgili literatür sayısı ise oldukça azdır. Enfeksiyonun lokalizasyonun ve genişliğinin bu vakalarda önemli bir prognostik faktör olduğunu, ancak bunun geniş vaka serileri ile ortaya konulabileceğini düşünüyoruz.
