In the assessment of patients with soft tissue complaints, it is important to consider infectious etiologies in the differential diagnosis, especially in immunocompromised hosts. The exact categorization of some bacterial infections of the soft tissues may be difficult. The structures potentially involved include the skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and skeletal muscle. Classification is usually based upon the anatomic structure involved, the infecting organism, and the clinical picture. The categorization is complicated by the fact that some infections may involve several soft tissue components and multiple bacterial species. In this review, we will cover cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue infections, fasciitis, septic bursitis, tendonitis, and pyomyositis.
在评估有软组织症状的患者时，在鉴别诊断中考虑感染性病因很重要，尤其是在免疫功能低下的宿主中。软组织某些细菌感染的确切分类可能很困难。可能受累的结构包括皮肤、皮下组织、筋膜和骨骼肌。分类通常基于受累的解剖结构、感染的生物体和临床表现。由于一些感染可能涉及多个软组织成分和多种细菌，因此分类变得复杂。在本综述中，我们将涵盖皮肤和皮下组织感染、筋膜炎、化脓性滑囊炎、肌腱炎和脓性肌炎。
