dc.description.abstractNecrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening soft-tissue infection characterized by progressive necrosis of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and fascia. A twenty-three year-old female patient presented with erythema and pain in the left thigh; both had started 15 days previously. Physical examination revealed swelling, warmth in the left thigh and pain related to passive movement. During follow up, the area involved developed echymotic bullous lesions which shortly spread to the perineal region. Despite appropriate antibiotic therapy and supportive management, the lesions progressed and surgical debridement was carried out. Deep wound and blood cultures revealed Staphylococcus aureus. Clearly, the mortality and morbidity can be decreased with clinical awareness, early diagnosis, effective surgical debridement, and intensive supportive care. In this study, we present a rare case of necrotizing fasciitis in an adult who had no predisposing factor and discuss its clinical manifestations and the best therapeutic choice for this potential life threatening disease, together with a review of the literature.en_US
