Four Cases of Decubitus with Critical Complications

Abstract

We reported four patients of decubitus who suffered from the critical complications. All four suffered from severe bacterial infections. The onset of the complications was at home in, but other three patients received decubitus treatment in hospital and sickened there. One died of septic shock. Insufficient recognition of the possible complications of decubitus can worsens the disease state and increase the cost of medical care. Dermatologists must educate both the society and medical institutions about this possibility.
