Hand infections in hospitalized patients. 1980

D L Nunley, and T Sasaki, and A Atkins, and R M Vetto

Two hundred hospital admissions for hand infections are reviewed with regard to the causes of infection, modes of effective therapy and causes of residual impairment. Patients with human bite injuries and those who delayed seeking treatment most frequently had severe injuries. Appropriate antibiotics and prompt surgical therapy of hand abscesses are essential.
