Descriptor English: Soft Tissue Infections
Descriptor Spanish: Infecciones de los Tejidos Blandos
Descriptor infecciones de los tejidos blandos
Scope note: Infecciones del tejido no esquelético, es decir, excluidos los huesos, ligamentos, cartílagos y el tejido fibroso. El concepto se refiere en general a infecciones de la piel o de los tejidos blandos y suelen estar afectados el tejido subcutáneo y el muscular. Los factores predisponentes en las infecciones anaerobias son los traumatismos, la isquemia o las intervenciones quirúrgicas. Los microorganismos a menudo proceden de la flora fecal o bucal, particularmente en heridas asociadas a la cirugía intestinal, úlceras por decúbito y mordidas humanas.

Scope note: Infections of non-skeletal tissue, i.e., exclusive of bone, ligaments, cartilage, and fibrous tissue. The concept is usually referred to as skin and soft tissue infections and usually subcutaneous and muscle tissue are involved. The predisposing factors in anaerobic infections are trauma, ischemia, and surgery. The organisms often derive from the fecal or oral flora, particularly in wounds associated with intestinal surgery, decubitus ulcer, and human bites. (From Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p1688)
