Necrotising fasciitis post-trauma

Abstract

The case involves a man in his 30s, otherwise healthy, who developed necrotising fasciitis (NF) after a minor injury. He presented with severe symptoms including intense pain, swelling and fever, which led to a rapid diagnosis confirmed through clinical evaluation and imaging. Immediate surgical intervention was performed to debride the affected tissue, and broad-spectrum antibiotics were administered to address the infection. The patient achieved full recovery within 2 weeks without complications, highlighting the crucial role of early diagnosis and aggressive treatment in managing NF effectively.
