INTEGUMENTARY CASE STUDY PART B
1. The results of the LRINEC score with 11 total points lead to the decision that Mr. Olfa has the diagnosis of the Necrotizing fasciitis. The combined test results of wound culture, MRI scan, and bloodwork verified the diagnosis, the wound culture indicated a Streptococcus and Staphylococcus infection was found in the wound site, and Mr. Olfa is diabetic therefore his immune system is weakened. Streptococcus and Staphylococcus microbes are found in small amounts on the skin and nasal passageway of most people. The blood work results C-REACTION PROTEIN in the body indicate that an infection is causing large amounts of inflammation in the body. High levels of the sodium and BUN are reactions to the inflammation
