Berufliches Risiko: nekrotisierende Fasziitis bei einem Notarzt nach Reanimation einer infizierten Patientin
摘要
An emergency doctor became infected with group A streptococci during resuscitation and developed necrotizing fasciitis (NF) on his arm and thorax. The patient could be cured by antibiotic treatment and several operations. This case aims to increase the awareness for the risk of NF for medical personnel and makes an appeal to personnel involved in emergencies to consider the relevance of personal protective equipment.
