Figure 1. (a) Left medial thigh showing discoloration and swelling. Maximal pain to palpation was in the centrally marked area, but pain could be elicited as far back as the dotted lines. (b) Left medial thigh following surgical debridement down to viable fat, fascia, and muscle. DESCRIPTION A 28-year-old woman with a raised body mass index presented feeling unwell with a 16-hour history of increasing pain of her left medial thigh. Her white cell count, C-reactive protein (CRP) and lactate levels were elevated. A diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis was made, and the patient was promptly taken to the operating theatre. QUESTIONS 1. What findings differentiate a severe cellulitis from necrotizing fasciitis? 2. What are the common causative org...
