| description | Necrotizing Fasciitis (NF) is a rare, rapidly progressive severe bacterial soft tissue infection with a high mortality rate. NF classically
involves the trunk, groin/perineum, lower limbs, and postoperative wound sites. NF secondary to spinal anaesthesia in a young
postpartum female is extremely rare. Here we are describing a young postpartum female who underwent cesarean section for
the delivery of child but developed NF of the back starting from the site of spinal needle insertion. She was referred to our center
after 21 days of surgery with extensive NF. She underwent serial debridement but succumbed to septic shock secondary to gram
negative and fungal sepsis. |
