Shewanella algae에 의한 소아의 건막염

초록

Infection of the hands is a relatively common disease that can occur after the injury of the fingers. Commonly, these common diseases can be treated with empirical antibiotic therapy within accurate and detailed information from their pa-tients. But, some health care providers often simply think about this disease as simple infection and inflammation and just prescribe the empirical antibiotics without precise medical examination. Depending on the source of the infection, some patients will not readily fit into the standard antibiotic regimens that are commonly used for community pathogen. If ac-curate diagnosis within early treatment is delayed, it will cause the complications such as tenosynovitis, osteomyelitis and necrotizing fasciitis. By way of example, we describe the rare case of critically exacerbated from simple laceration to te-nosynovitis caused by Shewanella algae whose infection was related to his initial injury and not the subsequent treatment.
