==Overview==
==[[Fournier gangrene classification scheme|Classification]]==


'''Fournier gangrene''' is a type of [[necrosis|necrotizing]] [[infection]] ([[gangrene]]) usually affecting the male [[genital]]s. It is a type of [[necrotizing fasciitis]].
==[[Fournier gangrene pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==


It was first described by Baurienne in 1764 and is named after a French [[venereology|venereologist]], Jean-Alfred Fournier following five cases he presented in clinical lectures in 1883.

==Aetiology==
==[[Differentiating Fournier gangrene from other diseases|Differentiating Fournier gangrene from other Diseases]]==
In the majority of cases Fournier gangrene is a mixed infection caused by both [[aerobic]] and [[anaerobic]] bacteria.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Thwaini A, Khan A, Malik A, Cherian J, Barua J, Shergill I, Mammen K |title=Fournier's gangrene and its emergency management |journal=Postgrad Med J |volume=82 |issue=970 |pages=516-9 |year=2006 |id=PMID 16891442}}</ref>


==Incidence==
==[[Fournier gangrene epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
Only 600 cases of Fournier gangrene were reported in the world literature in the ten years since 1996, with most patients in their 60s or 70s with other concurrent illnesses.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Vaz I |title=Fournier gangrene |journal=Trop Doct |volume=36 |issue=4 |pages=203-4 |year=2006 |id=PMID 17034687}}</ref> However, Fournier's gangrene is not a reportable illness, and the condition is not uncommon, especially among diabetic individuals. A similar infection in women has been occasionally described.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Herzog W |title=[Fournier gangrene--also in females?] |journal=Zentralbl Chir |volume=112 |issue=9 |pages=564-76 |year=1987 |id=PMID 2956804}} </ref>


In Turkey it was reported that 46% of patients had [[diabetes mellitus]]<ref name="Yanar2006">{{cite journal |author=Yanar H, Taviloglu K, Ertekin C, Guloglu R, Zorba U, Cabioglu N, Baspinar I |title=Fournier's gangrene: risk factors and strategies for management |journal=World J Surg |volume=30 |issue=9 |pages=1750-4 |year=2006 |id=PMID 16927060}}</ref> whilst other studies have identified approximately a third of patients having either diabetes, alcoholism or malnutrition, and 10% having medical immunosuppression (chemotherapy, steroids, malignancy).<ref>{{cite journal |author=Tahmaz L, Erdemir F, Kibar Y, Cosar A, Yalcýn O |title=Fournier's gangrene: report of thirty-three cases and a review of the literature |journal=Int J Urol |volume=13 |issue=7 |pages=960-7 |year=2006 |id=PMID 16882063}}</ref>
==[[Fournier gangrene risk factors|Risk Factors]]==


==Treatment==
==[[Fournier gangrene screening|Screening]]==
Fournier gangrene is a urological emergency requiring intravenous antibiotics and debridement (surgical removal) of necrotic (dead) tissue. Despite such measures, the mortality rate overall is 40%, but 78% if [[sepsis]] is already present at the time of initial hospital admission.<ref name="Yanar2006"/>
