What type of diet is Neutropenic Enterocolitis?

---

Neutropenic Entercolitis is not a diet:

-Neutropenic enterocolitis is an acute life-threatening condition characterized by transmural inflammation of the small and large bowel in patients who are severely myelosuppressed and immunosuppressed. The clinical presentation can be quite dramatic, and the outcome may be devastating. Mortality rates are high, and treatment is controversial, with options varying from conservative medical management to surgical intervention. Early recognition of the condition is paramount to a potentially good outcome.  (+ info)

is Necrotizing Fasciitis a chronic or acute illness?

---

I looked it up on google but I couldnt find anything.
answers are greatly appreciated
I will choose a best answer:)
Acute. Very acute.

It's a nasty condition that once it takes ahold, progresses quickly.

I know of one patient, a young man, who came to the hospital with a foot infection. A week later, his entire leg (as far as the hip) had to be removed.  (+ info)

Is necrotizing fasciitis a disease?

---

Is it a disease or virus or infection or what?
anyone know?
It is a condition that occurs when certain bacteria gain entry, through a cut, scrape, bug bite, etc., to the fascia (connective tissue below the skin). These bacteria then release toxins which cause tissue destruction and death. It can spread very rapidly and has a high mortality rate if not treated promptly.  (+ info)

What can cause in infants kidney to bleed?

---

The doctors discovered that my sons right kidney was bleeding, what could cause that? He was only 5 days old.
He was full term. I only had him for a few hours in the hospital before the nurse took him away for low blood sugar. Then he developed breathing problems, then he got really sick. He developed necrotizing enterocolitis (intestinal infection) and died on the 5th day. The autopsy showed that his right kidney was bleeding also. That's why I haven't asked the doctor, I'm scheduled to talk to him in 3 weeks but I'm searching for answers before then.
There was no blood in his urine those few days that he lived.
I am so very sorry to hear about your son. My best wishes to your family.

I am not an MD, so please don't put too much stock in this: but I googled your son's symptoms and I found something called "hyperviscosity" which occurs when a newborn has too many red blood cells. However, this is really easy to test for - I'm sure they tested your son's hematocrit - so they ought to have picked it up if that were the problem. It's possible that they identified the hypervisocity but didn't know what was causing it (can be caused by inherited diseases, birth defects, etc.). That being said, it does encompass several of your son's symptoms: low blood sugar, respiratory distress, kidney failure (?)...and necrotizing enterocolitis can be a complication. Like I said, this is only if his hematocrit was quite elevated, but you can look at the list of symptoms here:

and see if it seems to fit or not.

I'm really sorry you lost him; best wishes. I hope you get some answers from the Doctor.  (+ info)

Necrotizing Fasciitis is an opportunistic infection. It can be acquired by getting a puncture wound with anything that has one of the types of bacteria that cause necrotizing fasciitis. It affects anyone and everyone and does not discriminate between women children and men. The causative bacteria are found all over the world, but are more common in developing/3rd world countries.  (+ info)

Yes. You'll just need to google it and find the support group near you. If you're having a hard time, let you doctor know and he/she can point you in the right direction. Glad your talking about it. Good Luck!!! Keep your head up! Merry Christmas!  (+ info)

I've contracted necrotizing faciitis on my penis?

---

It's unfortunate, the doctor told me they'd have to amputate all 10 inches, what am I going to do? My girlfriend said that she'd leave me as soon as I got better, seeing as how I will no longer be able to pleasure her.
Since you're a fudge packer, I don't believe you have a girl friend.
