Abstract

Escherichia coli is an extremely unusual cause of monomicrobial necrotizing fasciitis of the extremities in children. We report a transfusion-dependent adolescent boy with iron-overload secondary to congenital dyserythropoietic anemia who developed severe E. coli monomicrobial necrotizing fasciitis of the leg following a minor trauma. Combined surgical, antimicrobial and supportive care resulted in a good outcome.
