Abstract

An unusual case of acute cellulitis of the foot in a child is reported. The child failed to respond to standard treatment even after removal of an occult foreign body. Wound cultures revealed Klebsiella oxytoca and Citrobacter freundii. This is the first documented report on Klebsiella oxytoca in cellulitis. The cellulitis resolved after being treated with the appropriate antibiotics.

The red eye in childhood.

Overall, the primary care physician can diagnose most cases of red eyes in children, if specific attention is paid to which ocular structures are involved. Accurate diagnosis allows appropriate primary care treatment for most disorders and can aid in determining which cases need referral.

[Necrotizing soft tissue infections: nomenclature and classification].

Terminology used to refer to necrotizing infections is extensive because of the absence of clear definitions and the use of classification systems based on a variety of criteria, including etiologic, microbiologic, anatomic, and clinical aspects. This situation has led to some confusion. In the attempt to unify terminology, it might be more appropriate to use only the terms necrotizing fasciitis and myonecrosis, in which differentiation is mainly anatomical. Another option would be to use only the expression necrotizing soft tissue infections, a non-specific term, since these constitute a group of clinical processes having similar pathophysiologic characteristics and therapeutic principles.
