Künt Travmaya İkincil Gecikmiş Bir Nekrotizan Fasiit Olgusu
Abstract
Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare, rapidly progressive, and potentially fatal soft tissue infection of
the skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, or muscles. Only early clinical suspicion, appropriate antimicrobials,
rapid and aggressive surgical debridement can reduce mortality and morbidity.
Even with effective treatment and all care interventions, necrotizing fasciitis is a disease that is
difficult to manage. In this report, we present a necrotizing fasciitis case of a 48-year-old male
with blunt gluteal trauma after falling on stairs.
