    Author: Nazir H, Al Yazidi L, Mutani M, Zachariah M.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2020 Apr; 39(4):e40-e41. PubMed ID: 31815828.
    Abstract:
    Escherichia coli is an extremely unusual cause of monomicrobial necrotizing fasciitis of the extremities in children. We report a transfusion-dependent adolescent boy with iron-overload secondary to congenital dyserythropoietic anemia who developed severe E. coli monomicrobial necrotizing fasciitis of the leg following a minor trauma. Combined surgical, antimicrobial and supportive care resulted in a good outcome.
