COMPLICATED FORMS OF MASTITIS AS A TYPE OF NECROTISING INFECTIONS

Abstract

Acute lactational mastitis is a formidable complication of the postpartum period. The development of the disease is influenced by two leading factors - lactostasis and microbial factor. Staphylococcus aureus remains the dominant microbial pathogen. Expressed local and general symptoms of purulent inflammation of the mammary gland allow in most cases to make a correct diagnosis, however, a high proportion of patients with advanced forms remains, there are cases of non-lactational mastitis that occur against the background of concomitant diseases, with an atypical clinical picture. The paper analyzes the experience of treating patients who developed acute damage to the parenchyma of the mammary gland against the background of microbial invasion and advanced diagnostics.
