Abstract EN
Background necrotizing fasciitis (NF) represents a life-threatening bacterial infection characterized by a rapid necrosis of deep subcutaneous tissue and facia underlying the skin.
Despite its lethal nature, NF occurs infrequently, leaving many physicians unfamiliar with the disease process, common pathogens, and treatment strategies.
Here we present a case of NF caused by an unlikely organism, Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
We highlight the innocuous nature of initial presentation and the potentially devastating sequela.
