A patient in his late 50s who suffered from necrotising fasciitis is described in
this case report. The patient first presented at the chest pain unit, where he
reported of respiratory distress and showed systemic signs of an infection.
Because of progressive skin lesions indicative of necrotising fasciitis on both
the lower extremities, the patient was immediately rushed into surgery and was
treated at the intensive care unit. Despite receiving immediate treatment, the
patient died of this rapidly spreading infectious disease. Because of the fast
advance of this disease, we would like to emphasise the importance of early
recognition of symptoms.
