  • Title: Extensive necrotising fasciitis in a 4-day-old neonate: a successful outcome from modern dressings, intensive care and early surgical intervention.
    Author: Sakata S, Das Gupta R, Leditschke JF, Kimble RM.
    Journal: Pediatr Surg Int; 2009 Jan; 25(1):117-9. PubMed ID: 18982332.
    Abstract:
    Necrotising fasciitis (NF) is a fulminant and life-threatening soft tissue infection, which leads to vascular thrombosis and cutaneous ischemia. We present our experience with extensive necrotising fasciitis in a 4-day-old neonate and stress the importance of early diagnosis, modern dressings including negative pressure therapy, prompt surgical debridement and intensive care to improve the survival and cosmetic outcome of children with NF.
