Overview
Ischemic gangrene can be medically treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta-blockers, and antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin and clopidogrel. Wet gangrene and gas gangrene are treated with antibiotics which should cover microorganisms detected in culture of the specimen with gangrene. [1]
Medical Therapy
- Ischemic gangrene can be medically treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta-blockers, and antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin and clopidogrel. Wet gangrene and gas gangrene are treated with antibiotics which should cover microorganisms detected in culture of the specimen with gangrene. [1]
- Table 1 lists the possible microorganisms and the suggested antibiotic treatment.
| Microorganism | Treatment |
|---|---|
| Group A Streptococcus | Penicillin plus clindamycin. |
| Clostridium | Penicillin plus clindamycin. |
| Aeromonas hydrophila | Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX), second and third-generation cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, carbapenems, tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, and chloramphenicol. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] |
| Vibrio vulnificus | Third-generation cephalosporin plus tetracycline or fluoroquinolone. [9] |
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is one method to address oxygen tension.
- Intravenous immunoglobulin is also an adjunct therapy that inactivates superantigens, responsible for the associated toxic shock syndrome. [10] [11]
