Homeopathy treatment for Gangrene
Gangrene is a rapidly progressive, potentially fatal condition characterized by widespread necrosis of the muscles and subsequent soft-tissue destruction.
This is a dreaded consequence of inadequately treated missile wounds, crushing injuries and high-voltage electrical injuries.
Non-clostridia gas-producing organisms such as coliforms have also been isolated in 60–85% of cases of gas gangrene.
- The common causative organism is Clostridium perfringens, a spore-forming, Gram-positive saprophyte that flourishes in anaerobic conditions.
- Other organisms implicated in gas gangrene include bifermentans, C. septicum and C. sporogenes.
- They are present in the soil and have also been isolated from the human gastrointestinal tract and female genital tract.
- Clostridium perfringens produces many exotoxins but their exact role is unclear.
- Clostridium perfringens produces many exotoxins but their exact role is unclear.
- Alpha-toxin, the most important, is a lecithinase, which destroys red and white blood cells, platelets, fibroblasts and muscle cells.
- The phi-toxin produces myocardial suppression whereas the kappa-toxin is responsible for the destruction of connective tissue and blood vessels.
Contamination of wound
- Wounds become contaminated with clostridial spores and the devitalized tissue, foreign bodies and premature wound closure provide the anaerobic conditions necessary for spore germination.
- The usual incubation period is < 24 hours but it can range from 1 hour to 6 weeks. A vicious cycle of tissue destruction is initiated by rapidly multiplying bacteria and locally and systemically acting exotoxins.
- Locally, this results in spreading necrosis of muscle and thrombosis of blood vessels while progressive oedema further compromises the blood supply. The typical feature of this condition is the production of gas that spreads along the muscle planes.
- Systemically, the exotoxins cause severe hemolysis and, combined with the local effects, this leads to rapid progression of the disease, hypotension, shock, renal failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
- The earliest symptom is acute onset of pain that increases in severity as the myo-necrosis progresses.
- The limb swells up.
- The wound exudes a serosanguinous discharge.
- The skin is involved secondary to underlying muscle necrosis, turning brown and progressing to a blue-black colour with the appearance of hemorrhagic bullae.
- The characteristic sickly-sweet odour and soft tissue crepitus caused by gas production appear with established infection but the absence of either does not exclude the diagnosis.
- These local signs are accompanied by pyrexia, tachycardia disproportionate to body temperature, tachypnoea and alteration in mental status.
Gas gangrene:
- Gas gangrene typically affects deep muscle tissue. If you have gas gangrene, the surface of your skin may look normal at first.
- As the condition worsens, your skin may become pale and then turn gray or purplish red.
- The skin may look bubbly and may make a crackling sound when you press on it because of the gas within the tissue.
- Gas gangrene is most commonly caused by infection with a bacterium called Clostridium perfringens.
- Bacteria gather in an injury or surgical wound that has no blood supply.
- The bacterial infection produces toxins that release gas and cause tissue death. Like wet gangrene, gas gangrene is a life-threatening condition.
Dry gangrene
Wet gangrene
Internal gangrene
Fournier’s gangrene
Meleney’s gangrene
- The diagnosis make on the basis of history and clinical features: a peripheral blood smear may suggest hemolysis; additionally a Gram stain of the exudate reveals large Gram-positive bacilli without neutrophils; and the biochemical profile may show metabolic acidosis and renal failure.
- Radiography can visualize gas in the soft tissues and computerized tomography (in other words, CT) scans are useful in patients with chest and abdominal involvement.
