Case Report:

The patient was a 66 year-old male who was admitted to our hospital with extensive cellulitis and fasciitis of his left chest wall and axillary region.

The patient had been diagnosed having necrotizing fasciitis at the previous hospital and the “finger probe test” was positive which identifies the disease.

He had a history of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease (Figure 1, 2, 3).

The patient was transferred to the ICU and after evaluating the wound the decision to amputate the extremity was made and amputation was done the day after admission.

On the 3rd postoperative day he developed a low blood pressure which was unresponsive to dopamine drip. On the same day the patient had bradycardia and asystole and underwent CPR. The CPR was unsuccessful and the patient passed away.

You’d think that when you started seeing some strange discoloration to the skin that you might go see your doctor and ask is going on here.

Dummy.
