Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare and rapidly progressing bacterial infection of soft tissues. Bacterial toxins cause local tissue damage and necrosis, as well as blunt immune system responses. A self-propagating cycle of bacterial invasion, toxin release and tissue destruction can continue until substantial amounts of tissue become necrotic. Neutralization of bacterial toxins should improve the results.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pure hypochlorous acid (HOCl) (0.01% w/v) with no sodium hypochlorite impurity in saline pH 4-5, which was recently shown to both eradicate bacteria and neutralize bacterial toxins in vitro, was administered via flowthrough instillation to 6 patients with NF 4-6 times daily as needed. Utilizing a vacuum-assisted closure, 5-10 mL of pure 0.01% HOCl with no sodium hypochlorite impurity was instilled and removed frequently to irrigate the wounds.
RESULTS: Of the 6 patients, no deaths or limb amputations occurred. All infected areas healed completely without major complications.
CONCLUSION: The toxicity and immune dysfunction caused by bacterial toxins and toxins released from damaged cells may be mitigated by flow-through instillation with saline containing pure 0.01% HOCl with no sodium hypochlorite impurity. Randomized controlled clinical trial research of this relatively simple and inexpensive instillation protocol is suggested for identified cases of NF.
