Abstract

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a serious soft tissue infection with a significant fatality rate. Although the cause may be polymicrobial, the most common microbial agents are Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. Early recognition and aggressive surgical debridement are usually required to prevent the rapid spread of infection. Presently described is a case of NF of the eyelids in a patient who had a good response with intravenous antibiotic therapy
