Necrotizing fasciitis of the lower limbs.

Paola Muggeo1, Giampaolo Arcamone, Antonino Rizzo, Nicola Santoro.   

Abstract

We report an uncommon severe soft-tissue infection of the thighs in a male child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Early and aggressive medical treatment and the conservative surgical approach were successful. Necrotizing fasciitis should be suspected in any soft-tissue infection until it can be definitely ruled out, since prompt deliver of medical and surgical intervention is essential.
