Haemophilus aphrophilus is an uncommon cause of human infection. Brain abscess, 1-5 endocarditis, 2,5-8 abdominal wound infections, 5-9 and infections associated with the oropharynx2,5 are the most commonly reported presentations in children (Table). The presentation and management of a child who developed a soft tissue infection of the leg associated with H aphrophilus are presented. CASE REPORT A 12-year-old boy struck an opponent's mouth with his right knee while playing soccer. No obvious wound was noted. Four days later, the soft tissue about his knee became red, swollen, and tender. The bursa and joint were not involved. Incision and drainage of the subcutaneous abscess near the right knee was accomplished.

Necrotising soft tissue infection is a rare and rapid process with devastating consequence. We report one case of necrotising soft tissue infection in a bilateral upper limb with uncommon oral bacteria. Radiological imaging revealed the presence of gas in upper limb soft tissues, and an MRI showed the localised signal changes in the biceps muscle of the right upper arm, and the subcutaneous tissue of the left elbow. The patient was treated with surgical resection of the infected muscle and wide debridement of the subcutaneous tissue. Antibiotics were initiated. The patient recovered immediately without functional deficit. The unique features of this patient were possible to observe in the progression of the necrotising soft tissue infection in the bilateral upper limb with intentional injection of oral bacteria, and the effect of biceps brachii resection in a prime age worker.

Diagnosis And Treatment

Necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly spreading, bacterial, soft-tissue infection reported in both humans and dogs. A review of the pathophysiology, clinical findings, diagnosis, and treatment of necrotizing fasciitis is presented, with the goal of familiarizing veterinarians with this uncommon but potentially fatal condition. A case report highlighting the fulminant course of this disease is also included.
