Abstract
Surgical skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) result from microbial invasion of the skin and underlying soft tissues, often requiring surgical treatment. SSTIs encompass a variety of pathological conditions, ranging from frequent simple superficial skin infections with very good outcomes to rare, rapidly progressive necrotizing infections associated with long-lasting morbidity and high mortality. The document summarizes current knowledge of the diagnosis and therapy of these diseases and provides clinicians with current standards of care of these patients based on international guidelines. Additionally, regional specific aspects are also reflected, and thus in all cases, this paper on diagnostic-therapeutic management of individual clinical forms respects the actual clinical practice and epidemiology in the Czech Republic. The document has been prepared based on multidisciplinary consensus of experts from universities all over the Czech Republic.
