Streptococcal Infection
Puerperal fever - uterus is infected C. Surgical scarlet fever - surgical wound is infected D. Myositis - muscle is destroyed E.[atsu.edu]
Other types of common infections include skin and wound infections, ear and sinus infections, and infections in the lymph glands.[healthlinkbc.ca]
Other disease processes involving GAS organisms (for example, meningitis , bone infections, pneumonia , wound infections, and others) produce the typical symptoms associated[medicinenet.com]

Enterococcus
infection mitigation in combat-related wounds.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patients with Enterococcal wound and soft tissue infections were identified using the hospital data base, their incidence of soft tissue/wound infections calculated, drug[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The patient was treated for the wound infection and was later on discharged after three weeks of hospital stay.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Conjunctivitis
Nocardial conjunctivitis associated with silicone tubing is an extremely rare finding. The authors present a case of a 52-year-old woman with previous dacryocystorhinostomy and silicone tube placement 3 years prior who presented with OD redness and discharge for 1 week. On examination, the patient was noted to[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Klebsiella
Strains of Klebsiella grimontii were isolated from human blood cultures, wound infections, antibiotic-associated haemorrhagic colitis and faecal carriage.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
These include: Pneumonia Bloodstream infections Wound infections Surgical site infections Meningitis Urinary tract infections (UTI) How Klebsiella Pneumoniae Spreads K. pneumoniae[everydayhealth.com]
The bacteria are not airborne, so you can't contract a K. pneumoniae infection by breathing the same air as an infected person.[everydayhealth.com]
Lymphadenitis

In the group allocated to undergo surgery, 12% of the patients developed a postoperative wound infection.[academic.oup.com]
Depending on the duration and intensity of the inflammatory process, there are: acute lymphadenitis, which is characterized by a sudden onset and occurs as a result of wound[en.medicine-worlds.com]
Staphylococcal Infection
The susceptibility of superficial wounds to the infection is ascribed to friction from dressings.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Staph is one of the most common causes of skin infections and can cause serious wound infections.[rch.org.au]
Abstract The significance of staphylococcal infection has been studied prospectively in 250 wounds healing by open granulation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Diabetic Ulcer
They should be assessed regularly for signs of wound infection, remembering that infected wounds are often minimally symptomatic, displaying only exudate, odour or mild discomfort[clinimed.co.uk]
For diabetic wound infections: Initial course of antibiotics is 1-2 weeks for mild infections and 3-6 weeks for moderate to severe infections.[ahpnetwork.com]
A wound dressing should be selected to support a moist wound environment, prevent further trauma, treat / prevent infection, manage exudate, control odour and protect the[clinimed.co.uk]
Umbilical Hernia
infection.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The mean operative time was 67.45 min and the average hospital stay was 3.8 days. 2 patients had wound infection, 3 patients developed seroma and 1 patient had an ascitic[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Postoperative morbidity (2%) consisted of superficial wound infection (7), hematoma (3), and seroma (1).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Ventral Hernia
The other two recurrences were one which occurred superior to the mesh at a suture site and one who developed a wound infection postoperatively.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Early wound complications included subcutaneous wound infection (18), deep wound infection (17), dehiscence (13), fistula (2), and suture sinus (2).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A recent development for the primary prevention of wound infections is the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) on closed wounds.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
