Abstract: | Panaritium tendineum is a severe infection of the hand in most cases caused by infection with staphylococcal or streptococcal species. In this article, a case of panaritium tendineum caused by Haemophilus influenzae is described. In the literature, no cases of H. influenzae causing a panaritium tendineum are described before. The patient in this case was treated by repeated surgical incision and drainage, local antiseptic treatment, intravenous antibiotics, and 2 months of physiotherapy after which there remained some loss of function of the left hand. |
