Necrotizing fasciitis of abdominal wall in AIDS.

P K Roy1, S C Patel, Y P Kataria.   

Abstract

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an uncommon but potentially lethal soft-tissue infection. Mortality rate is high and has not changed since it was first described by Meleny. Although immunodeficiency is a risk factor for NF, there is only one reported case of NF in AIDS involving the cervical region. We report the first case of necrotizing fasciitis of the abdominal wall in an AIDS patient.
