The consequences and complications of streptoderma in a child can be very unfavorable. Bacterial infection is always accompanied by the development of inflammation, infection. If untreated, the risk of sepsis and bacteremia is quite high. Perhaps the development of chronic infection, which will be accompanied by periodic exacerbations, relapses. The danger is that chronic infection can persist throughout the body, and then can cause various inflammations of the internal organs and skin. Infection can penetrate into any organ or system, causing an inflammatory, purulent-septic process there.[1]
Most dangerous is a latent infection. Not completely cured infection in the urine can cause recurrences. It is also dangerous that the infection can progress.
How does streptoderma in children end?
As a rule, streptoderma takes 2-3 weeks. To answer the question of how streptoderma ends in children, you need to take into account a number of factors, including the treatment being given. Usually, with properly selected treatment and strict adherence to all the recommendations of the doctor, streptoderma ends with complete recovery. Wounds heal, crusts form, which then fall away. Traces and scars after the healing of streptoderma is not observed.
In some cases, with improper, incomplete or delayed treatment, relapses may occur, or the disease may become chronic with periodic exacerbations. In the absence of treatment, non-compliance with the recommendations of the doctor, deterioration may be observed, the infection may progress, affect newer and new areas of the body, create new foci of infection. [2]Mucous membranes, internal organs, up to the development of sepsis and bacteremia can be involved in the pathological process. [3]Complications of skin infections caused by group A streptococci, such as post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis and acute rheumatic fever, are rare.[4], [5], [6]
Blood from the nose with streptoderma in children
Blood from the nose can be observed in children with streptoderma, but it is associated not so much with streptoderma itself, as with a violation of the normal structural and functional state of the nasal mucous membranes, with pronounced dysbacteriosis, edema, a violation of the microvasculature and vascular permeability. Bacterial infection, especially streptococcal, is accompanied by bacterial intoxication and a decrease in local immunity. Against this background, the properties of mucous membranes change, permeability is disturbed, the tendency to the development of bleeding increases.[7]
If children with streptoderma are bleeding from the nose, it is advisable to drink a course of ascorutin. It includes rutin, which affects vessels: it normalizes tone, increases permeability, and normalizes the basic properties of blood vessels and blood vessels. [8], [9]The second component - ascorbic acid, which also normalizes the state of the body, including vessels, mucous membranes, removes toxins. [10]The doctor prescribes the dosage individually, but usually children are recommended for 0.5 - 1 tablet 2-3 times a day, depending on body mass index, severity of pathology, age.
