Atypical ulcers: Definition and diagnosis
Sandra Marinovic Kulisic
University of Zagreb, Croatia
W
ounds mean distruption of normal continuity of
structures. Ulcers are excavations of the skin that reachat
least to the deph of the dermis. Ninety- five percent of atypical
ulcers manifest as one of the above mentioned entities. Other
forms of chronic wounds represent atypical ulcers, which can be
caused by autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, vascular
diseases and vasculopathies, metabolic and genetic diseases,
neoplasm, external factors, drug related reactions, etc.
The features of atypical ulcers are the following; difficult to
recognize, pose problems in making an accurate diagnosis,
and especially complex treatment. They are characterized by
inflammation and infections caudes by rare agents from the
enviroment, low virulence microbes, predominantly bacteria
and fungi, multiple-resistant strains, opportunistic microbes.
The diagnosis of atypical ulcers is very difficult. Althought
a wound biopsy generally is recommended in the case of
refractory, nonhealing ulcers or when wounds present
with atypical signs and symptoms, little is known about the
distribution of atypical ulcers.
Molecular and histologic analysis of atypical ulcers have been
suggested as a method to validate the use of debridment.
The non healing edge contains cells with molecular markers
indicative of healing impairment.
