Re: Fournier's Gangrene
Fournier's gangrene is classified as a "necrotizing fasciitis," which is an infection which necrotizes soft tissue. Two bacteria are involved in this infection. Bacteria of the anaerobic and aerobic variety are to blame. Anaerobic Clostridia class of bacteria of one species or another is "always," involved along with it's other random bacterial aerobic culprit. Fournier's is typically seen in the very young or the very old, diabetics, and those who are immunocompromised When Fournier’s gangrene presents with the fulminating lesions on the scrotum, it'll come with extensive tissue destruction which must be debrided. Obviously, this may the expose the testis to the environment. here's some additional information: "Necrotizing fasciitis caused by mixed aerobic-anaerobic bacteria begins with a breach in the integrity of a mucous membrane barrier, such as the mucosa of the gastrointestinal or genitourinary tract. The portal can be a malignancy, a diverticulum, a hemorrhoid, an anal fissure, or a urethral tear. Other predisposing factors include peripheral vascular disease, diabetes mellitus, surgery, and penetrating injury to the abdomen. Leakage into the perineal area results in a syndrome called =====> Fournier’s gangrene, <===== characterized by massive swelling of the scrotum and penis with extension into the perineum or the abdominal wall and the legs.
