Abstract
The increase potential of immunosupression have reduced the incidence of transplanted organs rejection but also increased patients susceptibility to opportunistic infections and cancer.
37-year-old male patient was admitted to the Department of General and Transplantation Surgery due to edema of the right leg with signs of infection. Pharmacological treatment was not effective enough and surgical necrosectomy was performed. After that negative pressure wound therapy was started and split-thick skin grafting was done. After few weeks patient was discharged without any signs of active infection, with good healing wound.
Cutaneous infection in immunocompromised patients should be treated quickly with aggressive surgical debridement and wide-spectrum antibiotics because of the high risk of life-threating complications in this population.
期刊介绍：
To provide to national and regional audiences experiences unique to them or confirming of broader concepts originating in large controlled trials. All aspects of organ, tissue and cell transplantation clinically and experimentally. Transplantation Reports will provide in-depth representation of emerging preclinical, impactful and clinical experiences. -Original basic or clinical science articles that represent initial limited experiences as preliminary reports. -Clinical trials of therapies previously well documented in large trials but now tested in limited, special, ethnic or clinically unique patient populations. -Case studies that confirm prior reports but have occurred in patients displaying unique clinical characteristics such as ethnicities or rarely associated co-morbidities. Transplantation Reports offers these benefits: -Fast and fair peer review -Rapid, article-based publication -Unrivalled visibility and exposure for your research -Immediate, free and permanent access to your paper on Science Direct -Immediately citable using the article DOI
