Abstrakt		Skin and soft tissue infections are among the most common reasons for people to seek medical advice. They also represent one of the most common indications for antimicrobial therapy. Infection can involve all layers of soft tissue. The severity of infection can range from a simple cutaneous infection to widespread necrosis of the skin, muscle and fascia. Infections can usually be managed by conservative therapy or local surgery. However, clinicians should be aware of less commonly seen invasive infections that need immediate radical surgical debridement to treat the source adequately, which also contributed to improved survival.
Izvleček		Okužbe kože in mehkih tkiv so pogost vzrok za obisk zdravnika. Predstavljajo eno pogostejših indikacij za protimikrobno zdravljenje. Okužba lahko zajame vse plasti kože in mehkih tkiv. Obseg okužb je lahko različen - od preprostih okužb kože do globokih mrtvin kože, mišic in mišičnih ovojnic. Omenjene okužbe največkrat zdravimo s protimikrobnimi zdravili in lokalnim kirurškim zdravljenjem. Pozorni moramo biti tudi na manj pogoste invazivne okužbe mehkih tkiv, ki zahtevajo nujno radikalno kirurško ukrepanje, kar prispeva k izboljšanju preživetja.
