  • Title: Necrotizing fasciitis secondary to discoid lupus erythematosus.
    Author: Snider JM, McNabney WK, Pemberton LB.
    Journal: Am Surg; 1993 Mar; 59(3):164-7. PubMed ID: 8476154.
    Abstract:
    Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an uncommon, but devastating, disease with a significant morbidity and mortality, unchanged in the last several decades. This case report is the first successful management of a patient with NF secondary to discoid lupus erythematosus. A review of the literature describes current concepts of etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of NF. This case report represents a growing class of patients at increased risk of NF due to iatrogenic immune compromise.
