摘要
Necrotizing fasciitis(NF)is an uncommon,rapidly progressive,and potentially fatal infection of the superficial fascia and subcutaneous tissue.NF caused by an enterocutaneous fistula has special clinical characters compared with other types of NF.NF caused by enterocutaneous fistula may have more rapid progress and more severe consequences because of multiple germs infection and corrosion by digestive juices.We treated three cases of NF caused by postoperative enterocutaneous fistula since Jan 2007.We followed empirically the principle of eliminating anaerobic conditions of infection,bypassing or draining digestive juice from the fistula and changing dressings with moist exposed burn therapy impregnated with zinc/silver acetate.These three cases were eventually cured by debridement,antibiotics and wound management.
