Skin InfectionsThere are a variety of skin infections that occur in humans.  Skin infections can be of the transitory type such as pimples, impetigo and cellulites or be lethal such as pneumonia and meningitis.  Between 1997 and 2005, the number of visits to emergency rooms for treatment of skin infections rose form 8.6 million to over 14 million (Hersh, University of California, San Francisco).  Majority of this increase was of patients suffering from abscesses or cellulites.

Causes

The human skin is exposed to many bacteria.  However, since it is an effective barrier for the body, it does an admirable job keeping the bacteria out.  It is only when there are cuts in the skin can elements like bacteria enter the body and cause infections.

There are two major types of bacterium strains that cause skin infections.

The bacterium staphylococcus aureus is the common cause of many skin infections.  While over a quarter of the general population can be ‘staph carriers’, it doesn’t mean they require treatment.  Staphylococcus aureas can cause several skin infections including boils, cellulites or carbuncles.

What is Hereditary Fructose Intolerance (HFI)?

Hereditary Fructose Intolerance (HFI) is a rare genetic disease in which fructose can’t be properly metabolised in the body. Affected person gets bad abdominal reaction (bloating, diarrhea) after eating fructose-containing foods. HFI is an autosomal recessive disorder of fructose metabolism, due to a deficiency of fructose-1-phosphate aldolase - an enzyme, which converts fructose into glucose in the liver. Incidence of HFI is estimated at 1 / 22-58,000 (1).

HFI should be differed from fructose malabsorption (dietary fructose intolerance - DFI).

Patophysiology of HFI

Fructose in the liver is normally converted into fructose-1-phosphate, and further into glucose. In HFI, fructose-1-phosphate, due to lack of fructose-1-phosphate aldolase, can’t be converted into glucose, so it accumulates in liver, intestine, and kidneys. The accumulated fructose-1-phosphate inhibits glycogen breakdown and glucose synthesis, thus causing hypoglycemia after fructose ingestion. Prolonged fructose ingestion in infants may cause hepatic or renal failure and death.
