Presenting symptoms include erythema and pain at the surgical incision with wound dehiscence. The clinical appearance of the PSPG wound (similar to PG) shows raised with dusky red or violaceous (violet-colored) wound edges and undermining with little or no evidence of granulation tissue. "Pathergy" is the term used to describe worsening of the wound in response to trauma such as debridement. Postsurgical pyoderma gangrenosum should be suspected in postoperative wounds, which continue to become progressively worse despite broadspectrum antibiotics, good wound care, and surgical debridement. CASE: A clinical case study of a patient with PSPG from spine surgery is described. CONCLUSION: Postsurgical pyoderma gangrenosum should be suspected in postoperative wounds, which continue to become progressively worse despite broad-spectrum antibiotics, good wound care, and surgical debridement. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study pictorial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
