[Pediatric necrotizing soft-tissue infections].
La Revue du Praticien 2024 March
PEDIATRIC NECROTIZING SOFT-TISSUE INFECTIONS. Necrotizing soft-tissue infections (NSTI) include necrotizing forms of fasciitis, myositis, and cellulitis. In children, these are extremely rare conditions with an estimated annual incidence of less than 0.1/100,000 patients aged 0-18 years in France. Nevertheless, the evolution can be very serious (6% mortality, higher than the mortality observed in paediatric intensive care units [PICU]), whereas the initial local symptoms are poor and can be falsely reassuring. The monitoring of a skin infection must be close in order not to ignore the evolution towards a NSTI. In this case, prompt transfer to a PICU with all the necessary technical facilities and used to the management of these rare conditions must be done. Early initiation of antibiotic treatment and aggressive haemodynamic resuscitation according to the latest Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines should be a priority. The paediatric surgeon should be called upon as soon as clinical suspicion arises and participate in the frequent clinical reassessment to determine the optimal time to perform the surgical treatment.
