【 摘 要 】

Necrotizing fasciitis is an infection of any layer of tissue compartment; it can be in the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, superficial fascia, deep fascia, or even muscle. Usually, necrotizing fasciitis is associated with necrotizing process caused by the single bacterial organism. The most common pathogen is group A Streptococcus. Delayed in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of necrotizing fasciitis will lead to increased tissue loss and high mortality risk. Here we report a case of necrotizing fasciitis which has a great outcome since the surgical exploration of tissue and debridement was done as soon as the patient is suspected of necrotizing fasciitis.
