Woman tightens spine and discovers severe face infection

Woman tightens spine and discovers severe face infection

When a new spine appears on the face, it is almost impossible to resist that little squeeze to burst the blessed. "It was just at that moment, after pinching a spine, that the American Katie Wright ended up finding a much more serious problem." After an hour my face swelled up and it hurt a lot.I went to the hospital and found that I had a serious case of infectious cellulitis, "she said. No, you did not get it wrong and no, it has nothing to do with cellulite on the butt. "Infectious cellulitis is usually caused by the bacterium Streptococcus B, group A hemolytic (more rarely by other bacteria). It can occur in both sexes and is most frequently present between the fifth and sixth decade of life," says dermatologist Bhertha Tamura.

"Its incidence is 10 to 100 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year and in this incidence is also computed the erisipela, as they are similar. The lower limbs and the face are the most affected areas," says the specialist. In Katie's case, the bacteria were transmitted by a dirty eyebrow brush. "I've always been super-careful about washing my face, but I had never thought about brushing it," she said. "Infectious cellulitis appears as a reddening, sore area with local heat and swelling, "When the condition worsens, it can lead to fever, chills, malaise, nausea, vomiting and, if it occurs on the face, it can get worse in a few hours, especially when it occurs in children," says the dermatologist.

Katie received strong antibiotics to contain the infection, which could have been fatal. "The infection was evolving so fast that I risked reaching my eyes and brain," she recalls. "Without treatment and diagnosis, there is a progression of the disease resulting in a serious infection, which can progress to an abscess, destruction of the affected region, associated with deep vein thrombosis, followed by bacterial spread and death at a frequency ranging from 0.5 to 20% of cases, "says Bhertha.

" Medical care should be sought as soon as possible and there is death due to the devaluation of the process and disinformation of patients with delayed treatment, which is already complicated by the possibility of a lack of response to the antibiotic or the condition is already in a phase of generalized infection, "he concludes.
