Abstract
Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare but fatal infection, characterized by the rapid progression of necrosis of the fascia, skin, soft tissue and muscle. The most common bacteria associated with necrotizing fasciitis is group A streptococcus, although other pathogens have also been implicated. In the present study, a case of community‑acquired necrotizing fasciitis, complicated with septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndromes due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is presented. Despite intensive medical treatment, the condition of the patient deteriorated rapidly and the patient subsequently succumbed to multiple organ failure. In view of the rapid progression and high mortality rate of this disease, early surgery, as well as novel therapeutic approaches for septic shock are required to improve the outcome for patients.
