Fourniers gangrene: A dreadful disease
The Surgeon - Journal of the Royal College of Surgeons at Edinburgh and Ireland, 05/12/09

Ullah S et al. - Fournier's gangrene is not an uncommon disease in South Asia. Systemic predisposition such as diabetes mellitus, long-standing steroid therapy, chronic alcoholism and even the hot humid season can contribute to this dreadful disease. Local causes in the form of urogenital, anorectal and cutaneous disorders may trigger this disease in some patients. Early recognition of disease and aggressive surgical debridement are the main treatments.
