Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 06/16/09
Naqvi GA et al. - The authors describe a case of 21-year old man presenting with the history of trivial injury to the knee. Initially he was admitted and treated for septic arthritis but later was diagnosed as necrotizing fasciitis which was successfully treated with no ill effects what so ever from this devastating condition. This rare condition has been well reported in literature but still early diagnosis, which is a key for successful treatment, remains a challenge.
