lactic acid and Fasciitis, Necrotizing

lactic acid has been researched along with Fasciitis, Necrotizing in 7 studies

Lactic Acid: A normal intermediate in the fermentation (oxidation, metabolism) of sugar. The concentrated form is used internally to prevent gastrointestinal fermentation. (From Stedman, 26th ed)
2-hydroxypropanoic acid : A 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid that is propanoic acid in which one of the alpha-hydrogens is replaced by a hydroxy group.

Fasciitis, Necrotizing: A fulminating bacterial infection of the deep layers of the skin and FASCIA. It can be caused by many different organisms, with STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES being the most common.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"No single laboratory value can diagnose necrotizing fasciitis; ultimately, necrotizing fasciitis is a clinical diagnosis and therefore presents a diagnostic dilemma for many physicians."1.72Finger Test for the Diagnosis of a Critically Ill Patient with Necrotizing Fasciitis. ( Farrell, R; Jeong, J; Livshits, D; Sokup, B, 2022)
"Unfortunately, the diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis can be very difficult."1.72Prognostic factors for mortality in 123 severe cases of necrotizing fasciitis in 5 hospitals in the Netherlands between 2003 and 2017. ( Knubben, M; Schrooten, T; Tan, E; van Stigt, S, 2022)
"Distinguishing necrotizing fasciitis from non-necrotizing soft-tissue infections remains a difficult clinical judgement call, with a paucity of diagnostic aids to the clinician."1.39Raised serum lactate: a marker of necrotizing fasciitis? ( Armstrong, A; Choa, R; Markeson, D; Murphy, G, 2013)
"The Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing fasciitis (LRINEC) score has been proposed as a way of using abnormal laboratory values to distinguish between severe cellulitis and necrotizing fasciitis."1.39A case of necrotizing fasciitis with a LRINEC score of zero: clinical suspicion should trump scoring systems. ( Schneir, AB; Wilson, MP, 2013)
