Twenty-six patients with hand infections caused by drug injection were seen at Detroit General Hospital between 1974 and 1976 and were followed up. The duration of drug abuse was 2 to 25 years. The time before the patient sought medical help ranged from three days to 20 weeks. Among the 26 patients were three webspace infections, three finger abscesses, four gangrene of distal phalanx, nine cellulitis and abscess, one ulceration of the thenar eminence, and two ulcerations of the volar aspect. Follow-up was difficult due to unreliability of drug addicts.
1974年至1976年间，底特律综合医院诊治了26例因药物注射导致手部感染的患者，并对其进行了随访。药物滥用的时长为2至25年。患者寻求医疗帮助之前的时间跨度从三天至20周不等。26例患者中，有3例掌间隙感染、3例手指脓肿、4例末节指骨坏疽、9例蜂窝织炎和脓肿、1例鱼际肌处溃疡以及2例手掌掌面溃疡。由于吸毒者不可靠，随访工作存在困难。
