Sverdlovsk Hospital Successfully Treats Rare Skin Condition
Sverdlovsk regional doctors have successfully treated a patient with a rare and challenging skin condition known as gangrenous pyoderma. This disease, characterized by the immune system attacking its own tissues, is not common in Russia or worldwide.
A patient, who initially presented with fever, chills, severe pain, and weakness, was admitted to the hospital. Doctors discovered a powerful inflammatory process through necessary tests and a computer tomography scan. The patient underwent surgery, was administered antibiotics, and received a blood transfusion, but her condition did not improve.
As the fever and white blood cell count increased, as well as large pink-violet ulcers on her abdomen, chest, and back of her thighs, a team of specialists, including surgeons and dermatovenereologists, intervened. The collaborative approach proved effective in resolving the case, as explained by Marina Ufimceva, the chief physician of the Sverdlovsk Regional Skin and Venereal Diseases Dispensary.
Despite the initial difficulty in making a diagnosis, due to the rare nature of gangrenous pyoderma and its similarity to other conditions, the misdiagnosis was eventually averted. Notably, this disease can be mistaken for nonspecific ulcerative colitis, inflammatory arthritis, or hematological diseases.
During the course of treatment, which took almost ten months under the supervision of doctors at the Sverdlovsk Regional Skin and Venereal Diseases Dispensary, the patient received hormonal therapy, a component of the standard treatment for pyoderma gangrenosum.
Previous reports from "Oblaastnaya Gazeta" have highlighted the success of Sverdlovsk doctors in treating a similar rare disease in a young girl. The enrichment data suggests that treatment for pyoderma gangrenosum typically involves a combination of therapies, including topical treatments, wound care, immunosuppressive therapy, and surgical intervention as a last resort.
Gangrenous pyoderma, part of the pyoderma gangrenosum family, is a painful skin condition marked by rapid skin lesion progression. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and avoiding unnecessary treatments that could worsen the condition.
