title: PICO: a revelation in topical negative pressure therapy?
abstract: The authors present the case of a 23-year-old paratrooper who was admitted to intensive therapy unit with florid meningococcal septicemia. Being young, fit, and well, he survived this acute episode with supportive therapy, antibiotics, and inotropes. He made a good recovery and was left with multiple wounds all over his body predominantly on the extensor aspects of his upper and lower limbs and torso.
