“…Again, in itchy skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis and contact dermatitis, the loss of the protective function of the skin due to erosions caused by scratching may prepare the ground. Skin diseases such as chickenpox and pemphigus, in which the integrity of the skin is lost, also pose a risk [14]. Other risk factors are given in the Table 1.…”

Abscess - Types, Causes and Treatment

Our skin, which is the largest organ of our body, is one of the organs most prone to abscess formation. They are infections that develop as a result of microbial invasion and inflammation of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissues. Among these infections, we often encounter folliculitis, furuncles, and carbuncles. We often see gram-positive microorganisms such as staphylococcus and streptococcus found on the skin as causative agents. Although the treatment of these infections varies depending on the patient’s clinic, it is generally provided with topical or systemic antibiotics. Most of the time, the clinic goes smoothly, but if neglected, it can cause serious problems.

Intraperitoneal abscess from perforated diverticulitis with fistualization to extraperitoneal abscess into the scrotum: a case report

et al. 2021

Background Scrotal abscesses are common skin abscesses seen in the general population; however, intraperitoneal abscesses tracking into the scrotum are rare. Intraperitoneal and retroperitoneal abscesses contiguous with the scrotum have been reported in the literature in specific populations. Wound cultures can aid in differentiating the source of the infections. Recurrent abscesses have been observed in high-risk populations, such as those with malignancy or who are immunocompromised. Case presentation We present a 71-year-old male with pericolonic abscess following perforated diverticulitis. The abscess was drained with interventional radiology and was complicated by an extraperitoneal abscess that tracked to the scrotum. Incision and drainage of the extraperitoneal abscess and the scrotal abscess were required with intravenous antibiotic therapy. The abscess tracking into the scrotum is reported without evidence of patent processus vaginalis. Conclusion We conclude that an intraperitoneal abscess can track to the scrotum through extraperitoneal fascial planes in the absence of a patent processus vaginalis. We show that extraperitoneal abscess spread to the scrotum is possible, with wound cultures helping to differentiate the source of the infection. High-risk patients with recurrent abscesses can also be susceptible to contiguous spread.

Milk is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and other vital nutrients. Potassium, B12, vitamin D, and calcium are nutrients that are lacking in many foods. Milk is also a rich source of magnesium, zinc, vitamin A, and thiamine (B1). In addition to lactose and fat, milk is an excellent source of protein and contains numerous fatty acids, including conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and omega-3 fatty acids. The primary sources of pathogens in milk and dairy products are animals, human handlers, equipment in contact, environmental sources, and water used in preparation. However, milk borne diseases, since early time, played a principal role in public health. This chapter is divided into the following parts: mammary Glands, the phases of mammary gland secretion after birth, nutritive value of colostrum, nutritive value of milk, major sources of milk contamination, milk-borne diseases, techniques used in milk preservation, milk testing and quality control, prevention of milk-borne diseases, and conclusions.
