Abstract
Nekrotizan fasiit (NF), yüzeyel ve derin dokulara hızla ilerleyen nekroz ile karakterize nadir görülen bir enfeksiyondur. NF, yaşamı tehdit eden bir durum olarak ciddi morbidite ve mortaliteye neden olabilir. Mortaliteyi azaltmada en önemli faktörlerden biri erken tanıdır. Bu olgu sunumunda, tetanoz aşısı sonrası sol kolda şiddetli nekrotizan fasiit gelişen bir olguyu sunmayı ve literatür ışığında erken cerrahi tedavinin faydalarını tartışmayı amaçladık.

Abstract
Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare infection that is characterized by rapidly progressing necrosis into the superficial and deep tissues. NF can result in serious morbidity and mortality as a life-threatening condition. Early diagnosis is one of the most important factors in reducing mortality. Therefore, we aimed to describe a case of severe necrotizing fasciitis in the left arm after tetanus vaccination administration and to discuss the benefits of early surgical management in the light of the literature.
