局部肌内注射致腰背部及臀部气性坏疽一例报告

报告1例因进行局部肌内注射导致腰背部及臀部气性坏疽的临床病例。男,43岁,因腰痛在当地私人诊所就诊,给予腰背部及臀部局部肌内注射封闭治疗,肌内注射5~6 h后腰痛加重,疼痛视觉模拟评分(visual analogue scale,VAS)为5分,伴发热;1天后,腰痛VAS评分8分,出现酱油色尿,伴发热。根据实验室检查以及临床表现出现多器官功能衰竭,影像学(CT)提示腰背部棘突旁及右侧臀部软组织出现大面积气体,伴椎旁及臀部肌肉坏死征象,初步诊断:腰背部及臀部感染,高度怀疑气性坏疽。根据病情进展,入院后急诊行腰背部及右臀部扩创术,术中细菌快速涂片报告革兰氏阳性粗大杆菌,厌氧菌培养提示产气荚膜梭菌,需氧菌培养结果未见任何细菌生长。根据病史、影像资料、术中判断、术后培养结果,临床诊断:气性坏疽。气性坏疽是临床特殊感染疾病,其发病率低,早期诊断困难,疾病进展快,死亡率高。肌内注射导致该疾病的发生,需要强调规范化无菌操作的重要性。
