Bacterial Infection on Skin

Bacterial Infection on Skin Normally, the skin contains a variety of bacterial flora, including The main pathogenic varieties of streptococcus and staphylococcus. Degrees The pathogenesis depends on the toxigenicity and attack of the specific organism, skin integrity, the size of the barrier/obstacle from the host, immunity and defense host mobile. Organisms usually enter the skin through abrasions/abrasions or punctures which hurts the hand. Clinical infection develops 3 to 7 days after injection. Septicemia may develop if treatment is not given or if the person experiencing immune system disorders. People who are at risk of developing bacterial infections are: children and adults who are immunocompromised, who can occur due to heredity or be acquired as a result of a certain disease; somebody whose physical condition is weak; in therapies that suppress immunity (immunosuppressive); and someone who generally suffers from malignancies such as leukemia or lymphoma. All these factors emphasize the importance of cleanliness and wash your hands carefully to prevent the spread of infection before and after treating infected people and their lesions. Some conditions (for example, impetigo) spread more easily through injection; therefore affected persons should take care to avoid related to the area involved. Follicular lesions should not be suppressed because of this will not speed resolution of infection and may increase the risk of lesions becoming worse or spread of infection. a. Impetigo Definition and Description of Disease Impetigo is a superficial skin infection that is generally caused by staphylococci or streptococci. Most commonly found in fetuses, young children aged 2-5 years and old age. Predisposing factors include: (1) Direct contact from around the school (2) Living in a slum residence (3) Lack of skin hygiene (4) Anemia (5) Malnutrition (6) Minor trauma to the skin (7) Can also be caused by direct contact with a contaminated environment or from an arthropod vector. Impetigo often occurs from secondary infections in other conditions with the characteristics of damage to the cutaneous barrier due to microbes that enter it, such as in eczema or shingles. Clinical Manifestations Small macules (non-prominent spots) that quickly develop into vesicles (small blisters), which then become pustular (filled pus). When the vesicles burst the surface of the skin becomes dry, thick, colored skin yellow causes pain. Surrounding there is erythema, regional adenitis ( gland inflammation), cellulitis (tissue inflammation) and itching (itching). Scratching can spread infection, this process is called autoinoculation. Existing lesions on the face often heals slowly and leaves depigmented areas. If Widespread infections can cause malaise, fever, and lymphadenopathy. Medical Management One small lesion can often be treated by soaking or wetting it for 10 minutes with Borrow's solution. Oral antibiotics can be given if needed. If there are extensive lesions (rare), antibiotics are needed systemic to reduce the risk of glomerulonephritis and prevent transmission. A skin smear may be needed to determine the type of organism contaminating. b) Cellulitis Cellulitis is a purulent inflammatory condition of the dermis and tissue subcutaneous which spreads widely through the spaces between tissues. Cellulitis usually occurs in loose tissue under the skin, but may occur in deep tissue under the mucous membrane or around the muscle layer. It can occur on the skin erythema, edematous, tender and sometimes in the form of nodules. Erysipelas are cellulites that occur on the surface of the skin with characteristic features patches on the skin that are red with edges that are clearly defined and felt hot to the touch. If the red patch gets longer, this will happen indicating that the lymph vessels are also infected. Facial cellulites covers The face, especially the cheeks or preorbital tissue, may also be affected. Pelvic cellulitis covers the tissue around the uterus and is usually called parametritis. Streptococcus pyogenes or staphylococcus is a common cause of this infection although other pathogens may also be the cause. Lymphangitis may occur, if cellulitis does not receiving treatment (generally pharmacological treatment), gangrene, The abscess metastasizes and can cause sepsis. High risk clients experiencing cellulites are elderly people, people with impaired immunity low risk of diabetes, malnutrition, steroid therapy, and in the presence of wounds or ulcer. Another predisposing factor is edema or cutaneous inflammation others (such as tinea, eczema, burns, trauma). There is a tendency recurrence of cellulitis, especially in areas experiencing vessel obstruction lymph.
