A clinical case of treatment for anaerobic infection in a patient with mine blast trauma in the intensive care unit

Abstract

Anaerobic infection is one of the severe wound infections caused by anaerobic microorganisms. According to statistical data, patients with complications of anaerobic infection have a high mortality rate, so early diagnosis and appropriate therapy are a key to the effective treatment of this pathology. To date, very few clinical cases with a combined effective treatment for anaerobic wound infection have been described. This article considers the step-by-step diagnosis and treatment for anaerobic infection in a serviceman who was injured as a result of military operations.
