[Post-cesarean necrotizing fasciitis. Bacterial synergism, or mixed infection of the soft tissues?].
It has been demonstrated recently that most of the disemminated infections of the dermis, necrotizing fascitis included are due to a mix bacteria infection working sinergistically, demonstrated by clinical studies as well as in experimental animals. Treatment based on wide spectrum antibiotics and extensive debridement of the necrotic tissue performed by a team of several specialists have diminished mortality to 10%. We report a case of necrotizing fasciitis following a cesarean section in the absence of risk factors. We discuss risk factors, classification, etiology, diagnosis and therapy in light of the current knowledge.
