title: [Fournier's gangrene. Presentation of 5 cases and review of the literature].
abstract: Five cases of Fournier's gangrene that had been treated at our department over the last five years are described. The literature is reviewed with special reference to the pathogenic, microbiological and therapeutic aspects of this disease entity. Similarly, we underscore the significant drop in mortality with the availability of antibiotics.
