'Noma' is an allusion to the rapidly destructive course of gangrene (Emmanuel et al. in J Maxillofac Surg 11:160-170, 1983). The pathogenicity is related to the high bacterial load of microorganisms resulting in gangrene that rapidly invades the facial tissues. The infection causes perforating wounds of the lips, cheek, nose, palate and bony fusion of the maxilla and mandible.
“走马疳”一词暗指坏疽发展迅速且具有破坏性的病程(伊曼纽尔等人,《颌面外科杂志》11:160 - 170,1983年)。其致病性与导致坏疽的微生物高菌量有关,坏疽会迅速侵袭面部组织。感染会导致嘴唇、脸颊、鼻子、腭部出现穿孔性伤口,以及上颌骨和下颌骨的骨性融合。
