NECROTIZING FASCITIS (Fasciitis necroticans)
Abstract
Introduction: Necrotizing soft tissue infections are actually diseases with a severe outcome characterized by the progression of soft tissue inflammation with a catastrophic prognosis and risk of major functional consequences. Only prompt diagnosis and prompt care, including prompt administration of appropriate antibiotic therapy and surgical treatment, can improve outcome.
Case report: Patient A.D. age 66, female, comes due to swelling and pain in the perineum. Before admission, the pains were of low intensity, and immediately before admission, they were of high intensity. An incision was made in the perineal region and the abdominal region on the left. During the preparation, we come across necrotic tissue from which a dark-gray liquid flows that has a strong smell. From the tenth postoperative day, secondary sutures were placed in places.
Key words: Necrotizing fascitis, incision, necrectomy, sepsis
