    Summary: In recent years, wound care has gained increasing recognition as a distinct medical specialty. An understanding of the complex mechanisms involved in wound healing facilitates efficient assessment and treatment of patients with wounds, and skin necrosis can be considered the starting point in the entire healing process. This book is the first to discuss skin necrosis as a symptom related to a broad range of pathologies. Richly illustrated, it primarily provides therapeutic strategies and treatment algorithms for different clinical contexts. All chapters were written by renowned specialists in their respected fields and include detailed sample cases and essential take-home messages. In light of the highly interdisciplinary nature of wound management, Skin Necrosis offers an invaluable resource for wound care practitioners and health care professionals across the fields of surgery, dermatology, internal medicine, and nursing.

    An unusual combination of host defense abnormalities was demonstrated in an adult male with recurrent pulmonary infections due to a variety of microorganisms. Polymorphonuclear neutrophil chemotaxis was defective. Other neutrophil and T-lymphocyte function tests were normal. The patient's serum also showed a severe deficiency of IgG, no detectable IgA, IgM, or IgD, and increased IgE. The chemotactic defect was shown to be due to a cell-directed inhibitor in the patient's serum. The effect of the inhibitor on chemotaxis could be antagonized by factors in normal serum. The chemotaxis defect persisted for several months, but eventually returned to normal.
