Chronic Wound Infection PPT Summary
- Salmonella can cause chronic wound infections, with S.Typhi and S.Paratyphi being common culprits. Treatment for Salmonella infections typically involves the use of Ciprofloxacin.
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis is responsible for tuberculosis, which spreads through the air. Treatment for tuberculosis usually involves a combination of medications, including Rifampicin, INH, and Pyrizinamide.
- Leprosy, or Hansen’s disease, is caused by M. Lepra and can affect the skin, upper respiratory tract, and peripheral nerves. Treatment for leprosy involves a multidrug therapy regimen that includes Dapsone, Rifampicin, and Clofazimine.
- Leprosy reactions can occur during treatment and are characterized by erythematous skin lesions, swollen and tender nerves, and other symptoms.
- Tetanus is caused by Cl. Tetani and is characterized by muscle spasms and other neurological symptoms. Treatment involves isolation, wound care, administration of anti-tetanus globulin and antibiotics, sedation, and respiratory support.
