Purpose In this report we record the first surgically induced Necrotizing Scleritis case related to trabeculectomy with the use of Ologen Collagen Matrix Implant. Observations Surgically induced Necrotizing Scleritis is a rare pathological entity that complicates ocular (sclera) surgery. Conclusions and importance Prompt management of surgically induced Necrotizing Scleritis related to trab...

BACKGROUND Early recognition and treatment are important factors that can help improve survival following necrotizing fasciitis. However, early recognition is complicated by the difficulty in distinguishing the infection from other, less serious soft-tissue infections such as cellulitis. We reviewed the charts of children presenting with necrotizing fasciitis at a tertiary care pediatric hospit...

We present a case of necrotizing fasciitis diagnosed in the emergency department. The clinical presentation and diagnostic findings of necrotizing fasciitis are discussed.

The authors present a case of necrotizing scleritis after pterygium excision successfully treated with rituximab after attempts with high doses of corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs. A literature review revealed case reports and a phase I/II dose-ranging randomized clinical trial using rituximab for necrotizing scleritis with or without association with autoimmune disease. This is the ...

We described a case of neurosarcoidosis with necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis in a 22-year-old man. Contrast-enhanced brain computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging showed intracerebral multiple nodular lesions. Noncaseating and partial necrotizing granulomas were detected in the specimen resected by neurosurgery. In addition, immunohistochemical examination revealed the expres...

Necrotizing enterocolitis is a devastating intestinal disease that affects ~5% of preterm neonates. Despite advancements in neonatal care, mortality remains high (30–50%) and controversy still persists with regards to the most appropriate management of neonates with necrotizing enterocolitis. Herein, we review some controversial aspects regarding the epidemiology, imaging, medical and surgical ...

We report a case of a previously healthy woman after an uneventful caesarean section who developed polymicrobial necrotizing fasciitis. She was given a non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drug (NSAID) after her delivery. Her post-delivery course was complicated by septic shock, and required multiple debridements before abdominal reconstruction. This case describes the increased risk of necrotizing f...

Necrotizing fasciitis is a serious disease characterized by the necrosis of the subcutaneous tissues and fascia. E. coli as the etiologic agent of necrotizing fasciitis is a rare occurrence. A 66-year-old woman underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. She rapidly developed necrotizing fasciitis which led to her death 68 hours following surgery. An E. coli str...

background: feeding intolerance is a common problem among premature infants. there is limited information on the safety and effects of oral probiotic supplements, especially products containing lactobacillus reuteri, and the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (nec) in low birth weight preterm infants. this study aimed to evaluate the effects of lactobacillus reuteri on the gastrointestinal ...

A b st ra ct Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare disease, potentially limb and life-threatening infection of fascia, subcutaneous tissue with occasionally muscular involvement. Necrotizing faciitis is surgical emergency with high morbidity and mortality. Aim: Aim of this study was to analyze presentation, microbiology, surgical, resuscitative management and outcome of this devastating soft tissue i...
