A case of necrotizing fasciitis of the abdominal wall, following an uneventful diagnostic laparoscopy in an elderly, diabetic patient is reported. The patient recovered after extensive surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy. The possibility of a lethal infection in patients with impaired immune defense mechanisms is discussed.Entities:
