Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management01:28

Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

226
Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...

Urinary Tract Infection III: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

195
A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...

Skin Cancer

5.6K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Immunology

Context:

  • Cutaneous abscesses are common, but atypical presentations pose diagnostic challenges.
  • Recurrent or resistant abscesses require consideration beyond standard infection protocols.
  • Management of atypical abscesses involves multiple medical specialties.

Purpose:

  • To review and update the diagnostic approach for atypical cutaneous abscesses.
  • To provide physicians with a systematic method for evaluating complex abscess cases.

Summary:

  • Atypical cutaneous abscesses can stem from community-acquired or familial infections.
  • Underlying chronic disorders, such as immunodeficiencies or systemic diseases, are potential causes.
  • A comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is essential for identifying the root cause.

Impact:

  • Systematizing the diagnostic approach will significantly improve clinical practice.
  • Early identification of underlying conditions can lead to more effective treatment strategies.
  • This review offers an updated framework for managing challenging abscess cases.
