title: Necrotizing fasciitis in a neonate - the role of keratinocyte allografts.
abstract: The authors report the case of a 9-day-old female infant with necrotizing fasciitis of the lower back due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to emphasize the role of keratinocyte allografts. Keratinocyte allografts were found helpful in this case to manage an extensive skin defect.
