Abstract

Skin and soft tissue infections may progress rapidly and take a fatal ending unless not treated in time. A 44-year old male patient without any pre-existing conditions got hospitalized with a bursitis ofthe right olecranon and unspecific general symptoms. Within a short period of time he became critically ill due this seemingly harmless infection. We describe our approach leading to the right diagnoses and the treatment of this unexpected progress.
