    Here’s how to ID signs of a developing infection so you can treat it before it causes real trouble.

  3. Wound licking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_licking

    These lesions are often infected by pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus intermedius. [39] Horses that lick wounds may become infected by a stomach parasite, Habronema, a type of nematode worm. The rabies virus may be transmitted between animals, such as the kudu antelopes by wound licking of wounds with residual infectious saliva. [40]

  4. Postoperative wounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postoperative_wounds

    Surgical wounds can become infected by bacteria, regardless if the bacteria is already present on the patient's skin or if the bacteria is spread to the patient due to contact with infected individuals. [5] Wound infections can be superficial (skin only), deep (muscle and tissue), or spread to the organ or space where the surgery occurred. [5]

  5. Wound healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing

    Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.

  6. Skin maceration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_maceration

    Maceration is defined as the softening and breaking down of skin resulting from prolonged exposure to moisture. It was first described by Jean-Martin Charcot in 1877. [1] [2] Maceration is caused by excessive amounts of fluid remaining in contact with the skin or the surface of a wound for extended periods.

  7. Wound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound

    A wound is any disruption of or damage to living tissue, such as skin, mucous membranes, or organs. [1] [2] Wounds can either be the sudden result of direct trauma (mechanical, thermal, chemical), or can develop slowly over time due to underlying disease processes such as diabetes mellitus, venous/arterial insufficiency, or immunologic disease. [3]

  8. Necrotizing fasciitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrotizing_fasciitis

    Bacterial infection is by far the most common cause of necrotizing fasciitis. Despite the term "flesh-eating disease," the organisms do not eat human tissue; rather, they release virulence factors and toxins that cause tissue death. Typically, the infection enters the body through a break in the skin such as a cut or burn. [3]

  9. Tetanus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetanus

    Onset of symptoms is typically 3 to 21 days following infection. Recovery may take months; about 10% of cases prove to be fatal. [1] C. tetani is commonly found in soil, saliva, dust, and manure. The bacteria generally enter through a break in the skin, such as a cut or puncture wound caused by a contaminated object.
