[Perineo-scrotal gangrene (Fournier's gangrene)].
Four cases of perineoscrotal gangrene are reported herein. All were immune-suppressed and three were diabetics. Its primary focus was in the GU tract or intestine. Culture was positive for Gram-negative aerobes and anaerobes. Early aggressive surgery and adjuvant antibiotic therapy achieved an excellent survival rate.
