Abstract
Necrotizing fasciitis is an invasive, life-threatening infection of the tissues. Necrotizing fasciitis is not a commonly seen infection, making it a challenging infection for many clinicians to treat and manage due to a lack of familiarity with the disease process. Further, there is limited research and guidance available regarding nutrition care for patients recovering from necrotizing fasciitis. This article presents a case study and highlights how currently available guidelines can be critically applied by dietitians to provide appropriate nutrition care in a relatively unfamiliar patient population.
期刊介绍:
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
