| description | Necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum and external genitalia is a life-threatening infective gangrene, primarily seen in adults. It may be seen
at any age but it is relatively uncommon in children. Here, we report a case of Fournier’s gangrene in a two year old male child who was
treated aggressively with broad spectrum antibiotics and early surgical debridement with hemodynamic stabilization. Even though no obvious precipitating cause was identified, hygiene was thought to be the inciting factor. Early surgical debridement with appropriate antibiotics
and aggressive supportive care gave good results. |
