    Dry gangrene is a type of gangrene that occurs when the blood supply to the tissue is cut off, leading to prolonged ischemia (lack of oxygen) or inadequate oxygenation.

    Dry gangrene is a type of gangrene that occurs when the blood supply to the tissue is cut off, leading to prolonged ischemia (lack of oxygen) or inadequate oxygenation. This can be due to peripheral artery disease or acute limb ischemia. As a result, people with atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, diabetes, and smokers commonly have dry gangrene. The limited oxygen in the ischemic limb limits putrefaction and bacteria fail to survive.

    Gas gangrene, also called myonecrosis, is a type of wet gangrene that is caused predominantly by **Clostridium perfringens** bacteria. The pathogenesis of gas gangrene involves the entry of bacteria into an ischemic wound, which provides anaerobic conditions for the bacteria due to a lack of blood supply. The bacteria then multiply in the dead tissue and produce exotoxins such as alpha toxin (lecithinase), which lyses erythrocytes, platelets, leukocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and muscle cells.

    The local effects of gas gangrene include necrosis of muscle and subcutaneous fat, thrombosis of blood vessels, marked edema which further compromises blood supply to the region, and gas production by fermentation of glucose. Systemic effects include hemolysis and cardiovascular abnormalities. The exotoxins further create more anaerobic conditions suitable for clostridium to proliferate and spread. Death may occur due to septic shock and unintentionally damaging effects of the immune response.

    Gangrene comes in two forms: 1. Dry, and 2. Wet. **Dry gangrene** occurs when the blood supply to the tissue is cut off. The area becomes dry, shrinks, and turns black. The main causes of dry gangrene include diabetes, arteriosclerosis, trauma, frostbite, injury, or tobacco addiction. On the other hRead more

    Gangrene comes in two forms:
    1. Dry, and
    2. Wet.
    **Dry gangrene** occurs when the blood supply to the tissue is cut off. The area becomes dry, shrinks, and turns black. The main causes of dry gangrene include diabetes, arteriosclerosis, trauma, frostbite, injury, or tobacco addiction.

    On the other hand, **wet gangrene** occurs if bacteria invade this tissue. This makes the area swell, drain fluid, and smell bad. Wet gangrene mainly results from venous obstruction associated with infections.

    If an infection gets into your blood, you may get sepsis and go into septic shock. This needs treatment right away. Symptoms include: 1. Low blood pressure. 2. Rapid heartbeat. 3. Shortness of breath. 4. Change in body temperature. 5. Light-headedness. 6. Body pain and rash. 7. Confusion. 8. Cold, cRead more

    Dry gangrene. This type of gangrene involves dry and shriveled skin that looks brown to purplish blue or black. Dry gangrene may develop slowly. It occurs most commonly in people who have diabetes or blood vessel disease, such as atherosclerosis.

    moist gangrene that develops in the presence of combined arterial and venous obstruction, is usually accompanied by an infection, and is characterized by a watery discharge usually of foul odor.

    Gas gangrene is most commonly caused by bacteria called Clostridium perfringens. Bacteria gather in an injury or surgical wound that has no blood supply. The bacterial infection produces toxins that release gas and cause tissue death.
