We report a case of necrotizing fasciitis and severe sepsis complicated by
emphysematous gastritis. The patient initially presented with sepsis due to extensive
necrotizing fasciitis. Although he recovered from severe sepsis after intensive
treatment including amputation of involved lesion, fatal emphysematous gastritis
developed later during long-term hospitalization. To the best of our knowledge, this
is the first report on emphysematous gastritis associated with necrotizing fasciitis and sepsis. |
