Soft tissue ultrasound (ST-USS) has been shown to be of utmost importance in assessing patients with soft tissue infections in the emergency department or critical care unit. It aids in guiding the management of soft tissue infection based on the sonographic findings.

We describe the occurrence in France of a Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ST93 clone, a predominant community-acquired (CA)-MRSA in Australia. In July to August 2012, an outbreak in a scout camp (n=3) and sporadic cases (n=2) of skin and soft tissue infections were reported. Investigations suggested importation of the clone through travel and onward transmission. This illustrates the epidemic potential of this lineage and the role of travellers in the spread of PVL-positive CA-MRSA.

Diagnostic Capabilities

Chapter 88 outlines the key radiologic features of soft tissue infections and the diagnostic value of the different imaging modalities such as conventional radiography, US, CT, and MRI. Soft tissue infections present in various forms that involve varying depths from skin to deeper tissues. Early diagnosis may be challenging because of nonspecific clinical presentations, resulting in delay in management. The advent of cross-sectional imaging has improved diagnostic capabilities dramatically, with US, CT, and particularly MRI being the pillars of evaluation. Prompt and appropriate imaging workup of the various MSK soft tissue infections aids early diagnosis and in demonstrating the extent of the disease process, as treatment delay significantly reduces the cure rate and increases the risk of complications.
