頸部壊死性筋膜炎の一例

AI解説:
頸部壊死性筋膜炎は、歯性感染や咽頭喉頭感染を原因とし、筋膜や皮下組織の急激な壊死とガス産生を特徴とする重症感染症です。この疾患は多臓器不全を引き起こしやすく、致死率が高いため、早期診断と治療が重要です。しかし、診断には複数の所見を総合的に判断する必要があり、蜂窩織炎との鑑別が難しい場合があります。本研究の目的は、顎下部の腫脹と呼吸苦を訴えた72歳女性の頸部壊死性筋膜炎の一例を報告し、診断と治療の困難さを示すことです。

著者による要約:
Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe infection with rapid necrosis of the fascia. Early diagnosis and surgical debridement are critical for reducing associated morbidity and mortality. However, the diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis can be difficult in the initial stage because it is necessary to integrate several observations. We report here a case of cervical necrotizing fasciitis for which diagnosis and treatment were difficult. The patient was a 72-year-old female who had a complaint of swelling at the submandibular region and respiratory discomfort. She was referred to a certain hospital, where she took antibiotics and underwent incision and drainage vepeatedly. However, she was admitted to our hospital because of exacerbated inflammatory vesponse. We made a diagnosis of cervical phlegmon or a cervical necrotizing fasciitis. Therefore, we administered antibiotics and performed emergency surgery. We confirmed necrotic tissue in platysma and investing layer of deep cervical fascia. We therefore made a diagnosis of cervical necrotizing fasciitis. The patient recovered with surgical debridement and antibiotic medication. However, the risk of necrotizing fasciitis was high when the case was evaluated by LRINEC score. For that reason, we suggest that early scoring by LRINEC score is useful for an early diagnosis and early treatment of necrotizing fasciitis.
