Nursing approach with Electrolyzed Acid Solution of Controlled Flow of a skin lesion secondary to cat scratch disease.
Cat scratch disease is caused by the bacterium Bartonella henselae, and usually presents with febrile episodes and lymphadenopathy. We present the case of a 57-year-old patient who presented skin complications at the inoculation site, with the appearance of necrotic tissue and signs of critical colonization. The approach was carried out by a nursing team at the patient's home, applying the TIME strategy. By using controlled flow electrolyzed acid solution, ionic silver dressings and compression therapy, healing of the lesion was achieved. The use of controlled flow electrolyzed acid solution exerts an important positive effect during the healing process, favors debridement of necrotic tissue and infection control. Clinical trials are needed to confirm the safety and efficacy of this product in the treatment of wounds.
