چکیده
|
Background: necrotizing fasciitis (nf) is an uncommon but disastrous complication of chickenpox in young children. nf should be suspected in case of varicella infection and persistent swelling and pain in any part of the body with fever, erythema, and lethargy. timely surgical debridement with broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and fluid resuscitation is critical to avoid fatal outcomes.case presentation: we describe the case of a previously healthy 6-year-old female who presented with unusual pain in the lower abdominal wall. urgent debridement was performed because of an inadequate response to primary conservative therapy with antibiotics and a subsequent deterioration in general condition. conclusion: this report highlights the need for the consideration of the condition for diagnosis and timely surgical intervention for effective management of nf.
