  • Title: Necrotizing fasciitis and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
    Author: Smith RJ, Berk SL.
    Journal: South Med J; 1991 Jun; 84(6):785-7. PubMed ID: 2052976.
    Abstract:
    We have presented a case of fulminant necrotizing fasciitis that occurred after excessive NSAID intake with granulocytopenia. This case parallels those previously reported as outlined in the above discussion. We concur with previous investigators who have concluded that NSAIDs should be used with caution in patients with phlebitis or apparently benign inflammatory cutaneous lesions.
