摘要
Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe type of necrotizing soft tissue infection involving the superficial fascia and subcutaneous tissues. Fournier gangrene, a type of necrotizing fasciitis, affects the genitalia or perineum. Although a rare health condition, Fournier gangrene can result in significant morbidity and unnecessary mortality following delay in diagnosis and management. We provide a review of relevant presenting features to aid diagnosis and allow timely surgical management of this serious infectious condition. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc.
