1.1 COMPLICATION
Complication arising from wound sepsis are suppurations which results when there is an imbalance between the infective agent on one hand and the defensive reaction on the other. The other complications are cellulite which is characterized by a spreading infection, necrosis and sloughing; septicemia, pyaemia and kaolin formation chilling worth et al 1979). Others that can also result from wound sepsis are gas gangrene, clostridia mystics, clostridical crepitate celluslitis which is a type of mixed infection usually found as a complication of wounds characterized by necrosis of the aveolar and fascia tissues with progressive gangrenous changes in the skin secondary in thrombosis or nutrient vessels repetition of the wound result from the formation of gas by the bacteria synergistic gangrene which is a mixed infection caused by the synergistic action of the acrobic hemolytic staphylococcus aurous and micro Europhilic haemolytic streptococcus also occur as a senous complication peritonitis, perforation and absences formation are other complications. Wound sepsis can be complicated by mixed infection in which yeast and often fungal infection are involved (sabistan 1981) . other complications are diabetic micro antipathy which involves the small vessels and capillaries an further complicate diabetes Nellutus.
Distinct and definitive thickening of the usement member inflammatory changes occur lading to the impairment of the resistant of the skin to secondary infections and delay the rate of healing following injures. Arkrosclerosis is another major complication of diabetes mellitus. Corponary Vessels are affected producing myscardid infection are the vessels of the lower extremities producing gangrene of the toes and feets. The precipitating causes of gangrene of the lower extremities resulting in ulceration, infliction and subbasement gangrene..
In the case of sickle cell disease leg ulcers, there is general reduction in the oxygen carrying capacity of blood resulting. In tissue dypoxia and parenthesis of the extremities occurs but although certain compensatory adjustment of the circulation occur the patients can become immemorially compromised in cases of secondary infections due to blocking of small vessels by sickled cells and infare of bones and joints which enhances the continued preponderance of any infecting organism (Anderson 1985).
This work is therefore an attempt to investigate bacteria associated with infection of wounds noting their differences . in distribution peltern, age range 10-2) years, (3-5) years, (6-8) years (9-11) year (12-14) years, (15-17) years, (18-20) years and 21 years and above, sex distribution (male and female) predisposing factor and any other factor affecting in Nigeria where antibiotic sensitivity pattern especially in Nigeria where drugs are takes indiscriminately without prescription
1.2 AIM & OBJECTIVES
a. The aim of this work is to isolate and identified bacteria associated with wound sepsis
b. And the objectives are to assess whether any correlation exists between age, sex and different types of wound.
2.c To assess the antibiogram of different bacteria associated with wound sepsis so as to offer advice on therapy.
