Abstract




















Ecthyma Gangrenosum (EG) is usually a-sudden-onset disease
affecting multiple regions of body with various symptoms and findings. Although
the problem is seemed to be consequence of infections like Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, some unpredictable causes may involve in it. Due to the rapid onset
of the disease, practitioners are often unprepared for the EG. We are also
qualified for treating lesions caused by burns but not EG.  Although we were also unrehearsed for EG
treatment, our facility was one of the experienced tertiary care children’s hospitals.
Therefore, we were able to accomplish the problem in these 3 patients. Herein,
we shared our treatment plots of EG. We believe these experiences will be
helpful to comprehend alternative management protocols when treatment disappointments
were observed during clinical progress.

Abstract

Ecthyma Gangrenosum (EG) genellikle çeşitli semptom ve bulgularla vücudun çeşitli bölgelerini etkileyen ani başlangıçlı bir hastalıktır. Sorun Pseudomonas aeruginosa gibi enfeksiyonların bir sonucu gibi görünse de, bazı öngörülemeyen nedenler buna dahil olabilir. Hastalığın hızlı başlangıcı nedeniyle, uygulayıcılar genellikle EG için hazırlıksızdır. Yanıkların neden olduğu ancak EG'nin neden olduğu lezyonları tedavi etmek için de kalifiye olduk. EG tedavisi için de anlaşılmasa da, tesisimiz deneyimli üçüncül bakım çocuk hastanelerinden biriydi. Bu nedenle, bu 3 hastada problemi başarabildik. Burada EG'nin tedavi alanlarımızı paylaştık. Klinik ilerlemede tedavi hayal kırıklıklarının görüldüğü durumlarda bu deneyimlerin alternatif yönetim protokollerini kavramaya yardımcı olacağına inanıyoruz.
