Abstract
- Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare soft tissue infection with very high rate of mortality unless promptly recognized and agressively treated. Early recognition and prompt medical and surgical treatment are mandatory to acheive a successful outcome. We report upon a case of neco-tizing fasciitis, which developed in a 53-year-old female and was treated successfully with early antibiotic teatment, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and fasciotomy.
