Abstract

Superficial penile skin infections may be presented in different clinical situations that vary from simple infectionto organ loss and serious morbidity and mortality. Antibiotic treatment and, if necessary, urgent debridementis required. A 46-year-old male patient with the complaints of urethral discharge and pain admitted to ouroutpatient clinic. He declared that there were midpenil tenderness and erythema 14 days ago which occurredafter sexual intercourse. Complete penile skin necrosis with purulent discharge was detected in physical examination.After wound debridement and 14-days of intravenous antibiotic treatment, wound site culture wasnegative and then full-thickness skin grafting was performed. Urgent antibiotic treatment should be given,especially for the skin infections of the genital area. Despite the rapid spread of antibiotic treatment, clinicalpresentation may worsen within hours. It should be noted that especially in diabetics and elderly patients withpoor hygiene, the infection may spread to anogenital region and may lead to fulminant necrotizing fasciitiswhich can present with severe morbidity and mortality. Reconstructive surgery is planned after the control ofinfection and according to the amount of tissue loss

Özet

Yüzeyel penil cilt enfeksiyonları basit klinik tablodan organ kaybına, ciddi morbidite ve mortaliteye kadar ilerleyebilen değişik tablolarda karşımıza çıkabilir. Mutlak antibiyotik tedavisi ile gerekli vakalarda vakit kaybetmeden acil debridman gerekir. Polikliniğimize başvuran 46 yaşındaki erkek hastanın genel durumu iyi, vital bulguları stabil, gecikmiş bir vaka olup peniste ağrı ve akıntı şikayeti mevcuttu. Hikayesinde 14 gün önce ilişki sonrası başlayan midpenil bölgede hassasiyet ve eritem varmış, fizik muayenede hastada komplet penil cilt nekrozu, pürülan akıntı saptandı. Tedavi almamış ve enfeksiyon gittikçe ilerlemiş, intravenöz antibioterapi ve debridman sonrası 14 günde yara yeri kültürü alınarak üreme olmadığı gözlendi ve enfeksiyon kontrolünü takiben tam kat deri grefti uygulandı. Özellikle genital bölgedeki cilt enfeksiyonlarında zaman kaybetmeden mutlak antibiotik tedavisi başlanmalıdır. Hızlı yayılım antibiyotik tedavisine rağmen saatler içerisinde kötüleşen klinik ile kendini gösterir. Fulminant nekrotizan fasiite kadar ilerleyen anogenital bölgeye kısmen veya tamamen yayılan özellikle ileri yaş, diyabetik, hijyeni bozuk kişilerde görülen bu durumun geç kalınması durumunda parsiyel/total penektomiye kadar ilerleyebileceği hatta ciddi morbidite ve mortalite ile seyredebileceği unutulmamalıdır. Rekonstrüktif cerrahi hastanın enfektif tablosu kontrol altına alındıktan sonra doku kaybına göre planlanır.
