title: [Necrotizing fasciitis--a clinical case with a review of literature].
abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening dermatosis with an acute clinical course. It represents a severe soft tissue dermal-hypodermal infection of polymicrobic nature. Often it is complicated by systemic deterioration, multi-organ dysfunction and lethal outcome. Herein, a clinical case of an immunocompetent patient with necrotizing fasciitis of the lower extremity is presented. A short overview of the recent achievements in diagnostic verification and therapeutic approaches of the disease is laid out.
