A 62-year-old diabetic man presents in the emergency room with a swollen left leg with areas of blanching and blue mottling. A "foul odor" is coming from a dressed wound. The physicians remove the dressing and a foaming, brownish fluid is seeping from a wounded area. The fluid contains what appear to be small bits of the tissue. No pus appears to be present. The wound has a strong "rotten" odor. Five days earlier, while at his work as a farmer, he caught the leg in his manure spreader, sustaining a deep, crushing, grossly dirty injury. His wife cleaned the wound as well as she could with soap and water, dressed it with clean gauze, and wrapped it tightly with an elastic bandage to stop the bleeding. The second day they redressed the wound and applied triple antibiotic ointment. The patient treated his pain with ibuprofen (Advil). He reported the pain was not very bad for the first 72 hours. In the past 24 hours, the leg swelled and the mottling began to appear. A foul odor and severe pain accompanied the swelling. His wife convinced him to come to the emergency room even though they did not have medical insurance. What is your diagnosis in this case? How should this wound be treated? Is it likely that the patient's diabetes contributed to the problem as presented?

A 47-year-old man who runs a yard service in Tallahassee cuts his thumb while attaching an accessory to one of his mowers. The next morning, his thumb is sore and the skin surrounding the cut is red. The man has thirty very impatient customers scheduled for lawn mowing that day, so he heads out early and works until early evening. By the time he gets back home, the thumb is swollen and throbbing, and yellowish-white pus is oozing out of the injured area. He also notices two red streaks going up the inside of his forearm. Just as he begins to think about getting some medical attention for his thumb, the man experiences a shaking chill and becomes queasy. His wife then drives him to the ER at the nearest hospital, which takes about 35 minutes because of heavy traffic. Upon their arrival at the ER, the man's temperature has reached 103.5 ºF, with an increased breathing rate and gastrointestinal symptoms. He is flushed and ill-appearing, with a pulse of 125 and a blood pressure of 100/60 mm Hg. (His normal BP is 145/85 mm Hg.) There are no other remarkable findings on physical examination. Based on the symptoms presented, what would you suspect the etiologic agent and the diagnosis to be? Why? Is this part of the normal flora of the Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems? What is the mode of transmission for the disease? What are the common reservoirs? What are common symptoms? If infected with this disease, what is the appropriate treatment? What could be done to prevent the spread of the disease (if applicable, if not highlight why)? Using a table, compare this with another disease of the same organ system and show how this disease is different (highlight 4 points of difference).

00:01 Okay, so for number one, the patient who had a wound on leg developed, a wet gangrene due to lack of blood supply.

00:13 The wound appeared blackened, molten, blue, and swollen due to the tissue death and bacterial growth in a gangrenous wound, reduced by toxins, which resulted in a bad odor from the wound in brownish discharge.

00:37 A gangrenous wound needs surgical debridement of the dead tissue.

00:43 Antibiotics are used to control the infection.

00:46 If the infection continues to grow, the leg amputation is required to prevent septicemia...
