Outbreak of invasive wound mucormycosis in a burn unit due to multiple strains of. The expert panel complied with the IDSA policy on conflicts of interest, which requires disclosure of any financial or other interest that might be construed as constituting an actual, potential, or apparent conflict. As it progresses, there is systemic toxicity, often including high temperatures, disorientation, and lethargy. Blood cultures are almost always negative. isavuconazole and intravenous or delayed release tablet posaconazole are recommended Chest/sinus radiologic imaging may identify the silent or subtle pulmonary site of infection that has resulted in dissemination to skin or soft tissues. Gram-positive cocci in chains suggest Streptococcus (either group A or anaerobic). Amphotericin B deoxycholate is better avoided because of severe adverse effects. No controlled comparative trials of therapy for plague exist. These infections are most common on the lower legs. The infection usually occurs in the same area as the previous episode. In some patients, cutaneous inflammation and systemic features worsen after initiating therapy, probably because sudden destruction of the pathogens releases potent enzymes that increase local inflammation. Despite clinical responses and appropriate treatment in one study from France, 38.6% of patients relapsed [177]. The incidence of local and disseminated Nocardia infections has decreased with the routine use of SMX-TMP prophylaxis for patients who experience prolonged periods of cellular immune deciency. In the absence of definitive clinical trials, antimicrobial therapy should be administered until further debridement is no longer necessary, the patient has improved clinically, and fever has been absent for 48–72 hours. Routine cultures are often negative unless cysteine-supplemented media are utilized. Cutaneous abscesses can be polymicrobial, containing regional skin flora or organisms from the adjacent mucous membranes, but S. aureus alone causes a large percentage of skin abscesses, with a substantial number due to MRSA strains [16–18]. Lesions in otherwise healthy hosts continue to erupt for at least 4–6 days, with the entire disease duration being approximately 2 weeks. Without treatment, mucormycosis leads to death within a very short time. D. L. S. has no current conflicts of interest and currently receives research support from the Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Institutes of Health. Early involvement of an infectious diseases specialist, a surgeon, and a dermatologist familiar with these patients may result in improved outcome. Therapy for typical cases of cellulitis should include an antibiotic active against streptococci (Table 2). Accordingly, this form of treatment is not recommended. The new guideline is one of the first treatment guidelines to ever be agreed on worldwide. III. These skin lesions may be discrete or multiple, are found preferentially between the umbilicus and the knees, and can increase in size from 1 cm to >10 cm in <24 hours. Most textbooks of surgery, infectious diseases, or even surgical infectious diseases extensively discuss the epidemiology, prevention, and surveillance of SSIs, but not their treatment [91–97]. Skin lesions are very common (60%–80% of infections), and often begin as multiple erythematous macules with central pallor that quickly evolve to papules and necrotic nodules. Addressing these factors might decrease the frequency of recurrences, but evidence for any such a benefit is sparse. Cutaneous mold infections are unusual, but there could be local infections at sites of IV catheter insertion or at nail bed and cuticle junctions on fingers and toes, or secondary to hematogenous dissemination [221]. These reports and recommendations have major limitations including lack of a control group and their anecdotal nature, and lack of standardization of the type of wound, its location, severity, or circumstances surrounding the injury. Cutaneous Nocardia infections usually represent metastatic foci of infection that have originated from a primary pulmonary source [230]. The MASCC developed and validated a scoring method that formally differentiates between high-risk and low-risk patients [195, 196]. Between 65% and 70% of adult patients are seropositive for VZV, and this identifies those patients at risk for future reactivation infection. Patients without a preceding history of VZV exposure are at signicant risk of developing severe chickenpox if exposed, but herpes zoster (also known as shingles) with or without dissemination is a more frequent clinical concern. These updated guidelines replace the previous management guidelines published in the April 2000 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases. Several other organisms can cause cellulitis, but usually only in special circumstances, such as animal bites, freshwater or saltwater immersion injuries, neutropenia, or severe cell-mediated immunodeficiency. In which patients is primary wound closure appropriate for animal bite wounds? The major risk factors for mucormycosis include uncontrolled diabetes mellitus in ketoacidosis, other forms of metabolic acidosis, treatment with corticosteroids, organ or bone marrow transplantation, neutropenia, trauma and burns, malignant hematologic disorders, and You will then receive an email that contains a secure link for resetting your password, If the address matches a valid account an email will be sent to __email__ with instructions for resetting your password, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S1473-3099(19)30312-3, We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. No prospective comparative studies of the primary treatment of mucormycosis have been performed, largely because of the rarity of this disease. Cutaneous manifestations of acute progressive disseminated histoplasmosis are rare and usually occur in patients with severe cellular immune deficiency [237, 238]. However, sensitivity of these tests can be significantly affected by the use of antifungal drugs, and in the United States their sensitivity has been reported to be lower than in Europe in various populations of immunocompromised patients [186]. Combined orofacial aspergillosis and mucormycosis: fatal complication of a recurrent paediatric glioma-case report and review of literature. Scrubbing the body thrice weekly with chlorhexidine-impregnated cloths after showering was also deemed ineffective [32]. This poses a dilemma for the pharmaceutical industry and investigators as identification of a specific pathogen, as part of the inclusion criteria, is necessary for enrollment in the clinical trial. Other agents active against MRSA (eg, linezolid, daptomycin, telavancin, or ceftaroline; clindamycin for susceptible isolates) may also be effective; however, clinical data are lacking because pyomyositis was an exclusion in randomized trials comparing these agents to vancomycin in treating complicated SSTIs [133–135]. This variant of necrotizing soft tissue infection involves the scrotum and penis or vulva [121, 122]. and medical intervention is lifesaving. Rhizopus oryzae is the most common organism isolated from patients with mucormycosis and is responsible for ∼70% of all cases of mucormycosis [2–4]. Antimicrobial Stewardship Centers of Excellence Program, myIDSA Practice Managers Community Opt-in Form, Fellows-In-Training Career & Education Center, Antimicrobial Stewardship Center of Excellence, Fellows-in-Training Career and Education Center, Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: 2014 Update by the Infectious Diseases Society of America, Gram stain and culture of the pus or exudates from skin lesions of impetigo and ecthyma are recommended to help identify whether. Its value seems to be primarily in reducing mortality from as high as 20% to zero. Amphotericin B deoxycholate is recommended against, because of substantial toxicity, High-dose IV acyclovir remains the treatment of choice for VZV infections in compromised hosts. During the initial episode gram-negative bacteria should be primarily targeted by the initial antibiotic regimen because they are associated with high mortality rates. Features suggestive of necrotizing fasciitis include (1) the clinical findings described above; (2) failure of apparently uncomplicated cellulitis to respond to antibiotics after a reasonable trial; (3) profound toxicity; fever, hypotension, or advancement of the SSTI during antibiotic therapy; (4) skin necrosis with easy dissection along the fascia by a blunt instrument; or (5) presence of gas in the soft tissues. This should include the respective roles of toxins and host response molecules in the genesis of redness, swelling, pain, and edema. Data from the National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System (NNIS) show an average incidence of SSI of 2.6%, accounting for 38% of nosocomial infections in surgical patients [78]. The use of immunohistochemistry to improve sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of systemic mycoses in patients with haematological malignancies. XXV. Molecular diagnosis of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis from fresh tissue samples. When inflammation and purulence occur, they are a reaction to rupture of the cyst wall and extrusion of its contents into the dermis, rather than an actual infectious process [19]. Impetigo can be either bullous or nonbullous [12]. Mucormycosis (previously called zygomycosis) is a serious but rare fungal infection caused by a group of molds called mucormycetes. A higher-level phylogenetic classification of the Fungi. A deep incisional infection involves the deeper soft tissue (eg, fascia and muscle), and occurs within 30 days of the operation or within 1 year if a prosthesis was inserted and has the same findings as described for a superficial incisional SSI. These medicines are given through a vein (amphotericin B, posaconazole, isavuconazole) or by mouth (posaconazole, isavuconazole). What Is the Appropriate Approach to Assess SSTIs in Immunocompromised Patients? Staphylococcus aureus less frequently causes cellulitis, but cases due to this organism are typically associated with an open wound or previous penetrating trauma, including sites of illicit drug injection. Muscle inflammation and abscess formation are readily noted; other sites of infection such as osteomyelitis or septic arthritis may also be observed or a venous thrombosis detected [130, 131]. HSV infections in compromised hosts are almost exclusively due to viral reactivation. Investigations are needed to determine the pathogenesis of soft tissue infections caused by streptococci. Clinical analysis of diabetic combined pulmonary mucormycosis. A high index of suspicion, a careful medical history, and early skin biopsy are important for successful diagnosis and successful treatment. A few cases have been treated with fluoroquinolones with mixed results [177]. Accordingly, fever or systemic signs during the first several postoperative days should be followed by direct examination of the wound to rule out signs suggestive of streptococcal or clostridial infection (see section on necrotizing soft tissue infections and clostridial myonecrosis), but should not otherwise cause further manipulation of the wound. The following 25 clinical questions are answered: “Practice guidelines are systematically developed statements to assist practitioners and patients in making decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances” [8]. Patients commonly present with myalgias and persistent fever despite antimicrobial therapy. The fascia at the time of direct visual examination is swollen and dull gray in appearance with stringy areas of necrosis; a thin, brownish exudate may be present. XII. The bacteriology of these wounds can differentiate the number of isolates per wound and whether additional coverage for anaerobes is required. analysed the published evidence on mucormycosis management and provided consensus Pulmonary mucormycosis: serial morphologic changes on computed tomography correlate with clinical and pathologic findings. Comparison of lipid amphotericin B preparations in treating murine zygomycosis. The initial lesion can be trivial, such as a minor abrasion, insect bite, injection site (as in drug addicts), or boil, and a small minority of patients have no visible skin lesion. Attributes of high-quality guidelines include validity, reliability, reproducibility, clinical applicability, clinical flexibility, clarity, multidisciplinary process, review of evidence, and documentation [8]. One of several clinical manifestations of anthrax is a cutaneous lesion. Patients with a previous attack of cellulitis, especially involving the legs, have annual recurrences rates of about 8%–20% [65–67]. X. Renal abscess involving mucormycosis by immunohistochemical detection in a patient with acute lymphocytic leukemia: a case report and literature review. To provide thorough transparency, IDSA requires full disclosure of all relationships, regardless of relevancy to the guideline topic.

Amoxicillin-clavulanate administered in one study for a variety of full-skin thickness animal bites in patients presenting >9 hours after the bite resulted in a lower infection rate [144]. Additionally, nonpurulent wound infections may also be polymicrobial [156]. Cefazolin or antistaphylococcal penicillin is recommended for definitive therapy of pyomyositis caused by MSSA. E. P. D. has served as a consultant; has received grants for clinical research and/or lectured for honoraria from Bayer, Merck, Wyeth-Ayerst, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Ortho-McNeil, Cubist, Vicuron, InterMune, Peninsula, Johnson & Johnson, Cepheid, Replidyne, Kimberley-Clark, Targanta, Schering-Plough, Enturia, Optimer Pharmaceuticals, Cadence, Implicit, Cardinal, Durata, 3M, Applied Medical, and BD-GeneOhm; and has received a clinical trial grant from Tetraphase. Mucormycosis: an infectious complication of traumatic injury. 2 Amphotericin B, posaconazole, and isavuconazole are active against most mucormycetes. Thomas File, Thomas M. Hooton, and George A. Pankey. Surgery should be avoided in patients with HSV infections, unless a documented bacterial or fungal abscess is identified. [Epidemiology of mucormycosis in metropolitan France, 1997–2010]. Amphotericin B is an excellent alternative. One uncontrolled study reported termination of an epidemic of furunculosis in a village by use of mupirocin, antibacterial hand cleanser, and daily washing of towels, sheets, combs, and razors [33]. Investigations should determine host and pathogen factors that result in recurrent cellulitis. Efficacy of combined surgery and antifungal therapies for the management of invasive zygomycoses in patients with haematological malignancies. Incision and drainage of superficial abscesses rarely causes bacteremia [102], and thus prophylactic antibiotics are not recommended. Vesicles, bullae, and cutaneous hemorrhage in the form of petechiae or ecchymoses may develop. These guidelines are focused on the diagnosis and management of specific patient groups (eg, fever and neutropenia, infection in recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplant), specific infections (eg, candidiasis, aspergillosis), and iatrogenic infections (eg, intravascular catheter–related infection). Cutaneous cryptococcal infections may appear as papules (often similar to molluscum contagiosum lesions), nodules, pustules, chronic draining necrotic ulcers, or, more subtly, as cellulitis [235]. Prophylactic or early preemptive therapy seems to provide marginal benefit to wound care for patients with dog bites who present within 12–24 hours after injury, particularly in low-risk wounds—that is, those that are not associated with puncture wounds; those in patients with no history of an immunocompromising disorder or use of immunosuppressive drugs; or wounds not involving the face, hand, or foot [149–152]. Levofloxacin has better gram-positive activity than ciprofloxacin, but is less potent than ciprofloxacin against P. aeruginosa, causing some to suggest that a higher dose of levofloxacin therapy (750 mg daily) may be required. The disease course varies, but lymphadenopathy generally resolves within 1–6 months. However, recovery of fungi from aspiration or biopsy of skin or deep soft tissues warrants aggressive systemic antifungal therapy. These molds live throughout the environment. Retrospective cohort analysis of liposomal amphotericin b nephrotoxicity in patients with hematological malignancies. Emergent and aggressive surgical debridement and administration of systemic antimicrobials are the cornerstones of effective therapy and crucial to ensure survival [144–146]. In addition, radiographic procedures may be critical in a small subset of patients to determine the level of infection and the presence of gas, abscess, or a necrotizing process. The recommendations in this guideline have been developed following a review of studies published in English, although foreign-language articles were included in some of the Cochrane reviews summarized in this guideline. In one study, primary closure of dog bite lacerations and perforations was associated with an infection rate of <1% [163], but closing wounds of the hand may be associated with a higher infection rate than other locations [164]. They are usually painful, tender, and fluctuant red nodules, often surmounted by a pustule and encircled by a rim of erythematous swelling. A detailed description of the methods, background, and evidence summaries that support each of the recommendations can be found in the full text of the guidelines. At annual intervals, the panel chair, the SPGC liaison advisor, and the chair of the SPGC will determine the need for revisions to the guideline based on an examination of current literature. A definitive bacteriologic diagnosis is best established by culture and Gram stain of deep tissue obtained at operation or by positive blood cultures. Discrepancies were discussed and resolved, and all panel members are in agreement with the final recommendations. Treatment Early recognition, diagnosis, and prompt administration of appropriate antifungal treatment are important for improving outcomes for patients with mucormycosis. Oral levofloxacin (500 mg daily) or ciprofloxacin (750 mg bid) in adults may be reasonable in mild to moderate illness. XXI. Low-risk patients have a MASCC score ≥21. The absence of criteria to identify patients who may benefit from HBO therapy, the appropriate time to initiate therapy, and its association with serious adverse events are additional concerns [142, 143]. A randomized trial comparing incision and drainage of cutaneous abscesses to ultrasonographically guided needle aspiration of the abscesses showed that aspiration was successful in only 25% of cases overall and <10% with MRSA infections [20]. Many different microbes can cause soft tissue infections, and although specific bacteria may cause a particular type of infection, considerable overlaps in clinical presentation occur. Based on this bacteriology, amoxicillin-clavulanate is appropriate oral therapy that covers the most likely aerobes and anaerobes found in bite wounds. Broader empirical coverage for abscesses might yield better therapeutic results. Upon suspicion of mucormycosis appropriate imaging is strongly recommended to document High-risk patients have a MASCC score <21. Most large furuncles and all carbuncles should be treated with incision and drainage. These lesions can appear as discrete pink to red papules (0.5–1.0 cm) and are usually found on the trunk and extremities [215, 217]. Based on in vitro susceptibilities and murine models, fluoroquinolones are another option. XV. A careful epidemiologic history (eg, exposure to raw seafood, pets, and travel) should also be obtained in these patients to consider organisms potentially associated with these exposures when appropriate (eg, V. vulnificus, B. henselae, cutaneous leishmaniasis). Local Mucor infections have occurred as a consequence of contaminated bandages or other skin trauma, but patients with pulmonary Mucor infection may also develop secondary cutaneous involvement from presumed hematogenous dissemination [225, 226]. Skin lesions appear as nonspecific maculopapular eruptions that become hemorrhagic, but oral or cutaneous ulcers are sometimes present, particularly in the subacute, disseminated form of the disease. In Which Patients Is Primary Wound Closure Appropriate for Animal Bite Wounds? However, there is considerable batch-to-batch variation of IVIG in terms of the quantity of neutralizing antibodies, and clinical data of efficacy are lacking [118]. The diagnosis is frequently not considered until gas is detected in tissue or systemic signs of toxicity appear. Specific recommendations for therapy are given, each with a rating that indicates the strength of and evidence for recommendations according to the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA)/US Public Health Service grading system for rating recommendations in clinical guidelines (Table 1) [2]. Nearly 50% of patients with necrotizing fasciitis caused by S. pyogenes have no portal of entry but develop deep infection at the exact site of nonpenetrating trauma such as a bruise or muscle strain. Invasive fungal disease in university hospital: a PCR-based study of autopsy cases. Treatment of NTM infections of the skin and soft tissues requires prolonged combination therapy (duration, 6–12 weeks) that should consist of a macrolide antibiotic (eg, clarithromycin) and a second agent to which the isolate is susceptible. However, systemic antibiotics should be given to patients with severely impaired host defenses or signs or symptoms of systemic infection (Figure 1, Table 2). The group also had the option to provide no grading in cases where no recommendations could be given. Without adequate treatment, some immunocompromised patients develop chronic ulcerations with persistent viral replication that is complicated by secondary bacterial and fungal superinfections. Recommendations for the treatment of mucormycosis were rated according to the standard scoring system of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) for rating recommendations in clinical guidelines as shown in Table 1. Initial clinical impressions should be supplemented with a systemic approach to enhance the diagnosis and management of infection. Performance of panfungal- and specific-PCR-based procedures for etiological diagnosis of invasive fungal diseases on tissue biopsy specimens with proven infection: a 7-year retrospective analysis from a reference laboratory. Disseminated infection with Mycobacterium avium complex occurs preferentially among patients with HIV disease, whereas bloodstream and cutaneous infections with Mycobacterium fortuitum, Mycobacterium chelonae, Mycobacterium abscessus, Mycobacterium ulcerans, Mycobacterium kansasii, Mycobacterium haemophilum, Mycobacterium marinum, or Mycobacterium mucogenicum are more frequent among non-HIV-immunocompromised hosts [228]. The use of newer molecular methods (eg, gene amplification and sequencing) will likely impact the management algorithms of immunocompromised patients with skin and soft tissue lesions and result in the earlier use of pathogen-directed antimicrobial therapy [184, 185].
