Fournier gangrene is a rare life-threatening surgical emergency mainly due to a polymicrobial infection of the perineal, genital, or perianal region. It is characterized by rapid tissue destruction and systemic signs of toxicity. It is more frequent in males and immunocompromised patients, such as patients with poorly controlled diabetes, alcoholism, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Treatment often involves surgical intervention, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, fecal diversion surgery, and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Delays in diagnosis are associated with high mortality due to rapid progression to septic shock.
福尼尔坏疽是一种罕见的危及生命的外科急症,主要由会阴、生殖器或肛周区域的多种微生物感染引起。其特征是组织迅速破坏和全身中毒症状。在男性以及免疫功能低下的患者中更为常见,如糖尿病控制不佳、酗酒或感染人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)的患者。治疗通常包括手术干预、广谱抗生素治疗、粪便转流手术和负压伤口治疗(NPWT)。由于迅速进展为感染性休克,诊断延迟与高死亡率相关。
