Empyema is a serious complication of lung surgery.
We report a case of Streptococcus anginosus empyema complicated by descending necrotizing fasciitis after surgery. Ten days after the initial surgery, the patient presented with arrhythmia and hypotension with septic shock. Pleural fluid analysis led to the diagnosis of empyema, and surgical debridement (second surgery) was performed. One week after the emergency surgery, a palpable pink erythematous skin change was observed on the ipsilateral iliac crest. Hence, the second emergency surgery (third surgery) was performed to debride the subcutaneous and intramuscular abscesses.
The possibility of descending abscess and necrotizing fasciitis should be considered when Streptococcus anginosus is detected.
脓胸是肺手术的严重并发症。
我们报告一例手术后由咽峡炎链球菌引起的脓胸并发下行性坏死性筋膜炎的病例。初次手术后10天,患者出现心律失常和低血压并伴有感染性休克。胸腔积液分析确诊为脓胸,并进行了手术清创(第二次手术)。急诊手术后一周,在同侧髂嵴处观察到可触及的粉红色皮肤红斑变化。因此,进行了第二次急诊手术(第三次手术)以清除皮下和肌肉内脓肿。
当检测到咽峡炎链球菌时,应考虑下行性脓肿和坏死性筋膜炎的可能性。
