Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Operative Pediatric Surgery, 2e AB - Findings on physical examination often suggest the origin and likely causative organisms in patients with infections involving the skin and subcutaneous tissues.When planning operative intervention for lymphadenitis, it is important to preoperatively plan either incision and drainage for abscess formation or lymphadenectomy for suspected mycobacterial infection.A high index of suspicion of necrotizing fasciitis and early surgical intervention are keys to optimizing patient outcomes.Laboratory and imaging studies are important adjuncts for the diagnosis of body cavity infections.
