Abstract EN
Necrotizing fasciitis is a serious soft tissue infection rarely occurring in children after blunt trauma.
Due to its high morbidity and mortality rates, a high index of suspicion is necessary for prompt diagnosis and treatment.
We describe a 6-year-old Costa Rican girl who died secondary to multiple complications following a posttraumatic necrotizing fasciitis.
