Abstract:
Deep fungal infections are rare in the upper extremity. Vessel and nerve infection, synovitis, tenosynovitis, myofasciitis, arthritis and osteomyelitis have been discovered in literature. Treatment in most cases includes surgical procedure and antifungal agent use. Amputation is the final, most devastating for patient\'s functionality, solution. Intravenous antifungal drugs, frequently followed by oral administration, are important ancillary agents both for the initial treatment and the prevention of recurrence. We therefore performed a review of the current literature, in order to assemble the dispersed results of different studies and clarify the various aspects of upper extremity fungal infections.
摘要:
深部真菌感染在上肢很少见。血管和神经感染,滑膜炎,腱鞘炎,肌筋膜炎,关节炎和骨髓炎已在文献中发现。在大多数情况下,治疗包括外科手术和抗真菌剂的使用。截肢是最后的,对患者的功能最具破坏性,解决方案。静脉内抗真菌药物,经常口服给药,是初始治疗和预防复发的重要辅助药物。因此,我们对当前的文献进行了回顾,为了收集不同研究的分散结果并阐明上肢真菌感染的各个方面。
