Scleroderma mimics – Clinical features and management

Systemic sclerosis is a severe immune-mediated rheumatic disease by virtue of its clinical impact and mortality. There are a number of other sclerosing skin diseases that should be considered in the differential diagnosis and these are important because they may require specialist investigation and management. In addition, long-term follow up of the different conditions should reflect the risk of associated complications and anticipated duration of therapy. This article reviews the clinical features of potential mimics of scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) including localised forms of scleroderma (morphoea) and other conditions that lead to skin thickening and connective tissue fibrosis or scarring.

Plantar fasciopathy: Revisiting the risk factors

BackgroundPlantar fasciopathy is the most common cause of acquired sub-calcaneal heel pain in adults. To-date, research of this condition has mainly focused on management rather than causal mechanisms. The aetiology of plantar fasciopathy is likely to be multifactorial, as both intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors have been reported. The purpose of this review is to critically reevaluate risk factors for plantar fasciopathy.MethodsA detailed literature review was undertaken using English language medical databases.ResultsNo clear consensus exists as to the relative strength of the risk factors reported.ConclusionsTo-date numerous studies have examined various intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors implicated in the aetiology of plantar fasciopathy. How these factors interact may provide useful data to establish an individuals’ risk profile for plantar fasciopathy and their potential for response to treatment. Further research is indicated to rank the relative significance of these risk factors.

Hyperbaric oxygen as adjuvant therapy in the management of necrotizing fasciitis

BACKGROUND: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an uncommon but serious infection of fascia and skin associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. One modality proposed for improving the outcome of this condition is hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. This is a form of medical treatment that involves intermittent inhalation of 100% oxygen under pressures exceeding the atmosphere. The aim of this article is to review current practice and evidence for the use of HBO as adjunctive therapy in the management of NF. METHODS: A survey of published English literature through searches of Medline and PubMed was carried out using the following key words: "necrotizing fasciitis," "Fournier's gangrene," "necrotizing soft tissue infections," "hyperbaric oxygen therapy," "and hyperbaric oxygen chambers." RESULTS: The results of studies on the use of HBO therapy in NF are inconsistent. Some studies have demonstrated that HBO can improve patient survival and decrease the number of debridements required to achieve wound control, whereas others have failed to show any beneficial effect. CONCLUSIONS: Encouraging results have been achieved with the addition of HBO therapy to standard treatment regimes, thus justifying further research in this field. More robust evidence by way of a prospective randomized trial is necessary before widespread and routine use of HBO in the management of NF can be recommended.     

Primary Shewanella algae Bacteremia Mimicking Vibrio Septicemia

Shewanella algae infections are rare in humans. Previously reported cases of S. algae have mainly been associated with direct contact with seawater. We report a case of primary S. algae bacteremia occurring after the ingestion of raw seafood in a patient with liver cirrhosis that presented a fulminent course of necrotizing fasciitis.     

Periorbital necrotising fasciitis after minor trauma

Introduction Necrotising fasciitis or streptococcal gangrene is a rare and often fatal soft tissue infection usually affecting the limbs and trunk. Facial involvement is exceedingly rare due to the excellent blood supply of this region. Methods We report a case of initially misdiagnosed streptococcal gangrene of the eyelids precipitated by minor trauma and which progressed despite intensive medical therapy. Results A 53-year-old man with a history of alcohol abuse developed rapidly increasing left-sided periorbital oedema, erythema and skin vesicles soon after sustaining a laceration to his left upper lid. It was initially treated as herpes zoster ophthalmicus complicated by a secondary bacterial cellulitis. Bacterial cultures grew group A β haemolytic Streptococcus pyogenes. Despite 8 days of high-dose parenteral antibiotic therapy and oral acyclovir, characteristic blisters formed and necrosis of the periorbital skin and subcutaneous tissues ensued. Surgical debridement was performed and the fasciitis rapidly resolved. Conclusion Physicians and ophthalmologists must be aware of the risk factors, although rare, for periorbital necrotising fasciitis and the cardinal signs that differentiate this condition from common non-necrotising preseptal cellulitis. Prompt recognition and early surgical debridement are crucial in limiting the morbidity and mortality from severe forms of this disease.
