Gangrene : Gangrene is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that arises when a considerable mass of body tissue dies (necrosis) Treatment is usually surgical debridement, wound care, and antibiotic therapy, although amputation is necessary in many cases. Antibiotics alone are not effective because they may not penetrate infected tissues sufficiently. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) treatment is used to treat gas gangrene. Abscess : An abscess is a collection of pus in any part of the body that, in most cases, causes swelling and inflammation around it. Causes Abscesses occur when an area of tissue becomes infected and the body's immune system tries to fight it. White blood cells move through the walls of the blood vessels into the area of the infection and collect in the damaged tissue. During this process, pus forms. Pus is the buildup of fluid, living and dead white blood cells, dead tissue, and bacteria or other foreign substances. Abscesses can form in almost any part of the body. The skin, under the skin, and the teeth are the most common sites. Abscesses may be caused by bacteria, parasites, and foreign substances. Abscesses in the skin are easy to see. They are red, raised, and painful. Abscesses in other areas of the body may not be seen, but they may cause organ damage. Types of abscesses include: • Abdominal abscess • Amebic liver abscess • Anorectal abscess • Bartholin's abscess • Brain abscess • Epidural abscess • Peritonsillar abscess • Pyogenic liver abscess • Skin abscess • Spinal cord abscess • Subcutaneous abscess • Tooth abscess Treatment Treatment varies, but often surgery, antibiotics, or both are needed. Mastoiditis : Mastoiditis is an infection of the mastoid bone of the skull. The mastoid is located just behind the ear. Mastoiditis is usually caused by a middle ear infection (acute otitis media). The infection may spread from the ear to the mastoid bone of the skull. The mastoid bone fills with infected materials and its honeycomb-like structure may deteriorate. Mastoiditis usually affects children. Before antibiotics, mastoiditis was one of the leading causes of death in children. Now it is a relatively uncommon and much less dangerous condition. Symptoms • Drainage from the ear • Ear pain or discomfort • Fever, may be high or suddenly increase • Headache • Hearing loss • Redness of the ear or behind the ear • Swelling behind ear, may cause ear to stick out Treatment • Mastoiditis may be difficult to treat because medications may not reach deep enough into the mastoid bone. It may require repeated or long-term treatment. The infection is treated with antibiotics by injection, then antibiotics by mouth.

Monitor blood glucose in patients on antidiabetic medication. Potentially Fatal: Corticosteroids may increase risk of tendon rupture. Increases effects of oral anticoagulants, ciclosporin, theophylline. Increased risk of seizures with NSAIDs.
