Resumo: Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe soft tissue infection with a high mortality rate and therefore requires emergent surgical treatment. Several microorganisms can cause this infection, Photobacterium damselae being one of them, with only eight cases previously published in the literature. We report the first ever case of necrotizing fasciitis, caused by this microorganism, in Portugal. In this case report the patient survived after several debridement procedures and reconstruction of the upper limb with acellular dermal matrix and skin graft. A brief review of the Photobacterium damselae soft tissue infection reports as well as the clinical presentation, diagnosis, pathophysiology and treatment of necrotizing fasciitis can also be found in this paper.

Existem vários microorganismos que podem ser responsáveis por este tipo de infecção, sendo o Photobacterium damselae um destes, com apenas oito casos descritos na literatura de fasceíte necrotizante por este agente, sendo o presente relato a primeira vez que é reportada uma infeção a este agente em Portugal. No presente caso o paciente sobreviveu após várias intervenções de desbridamento cirúrgico e reconstrução do membro superior com matriz dérmica acelular e enxertos de pele. Foi ainda realizada uma breve revisão de todos os relatos de infecção de tecidos moles por este agente, bem como um resumo da apresentação clínica, diagnóstico, fisiopatologia e tratamento da fasceíte necrotizante.Ordem dos Médicos2021-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfimage/jpegimage/jpegimage/jpegimage/jpegimage/jpegapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.documentapplication/pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/13032oai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/13032Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 34 No. 9 (2021): September; 615-618Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 34 N.º 9 (2021): Setembro; 615-6181646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/13032https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/13032/6104https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/13032/11974https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/13032/11975https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/13032/11976https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/13032/11977https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/13032/11978https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/13032/11979https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/13032/12009https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/13032/12012https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/13032/12422Direitos de Autor (c) 2020 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGuimaraes, DiogoRibeiro, LuísVieira, LuísCoelho, Ruben2022-12-20T11:06:46Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/13032Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:20:16.140661Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
