Abstract :
Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is rare in infants, and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) resulting from NF in an infant has not previously been reported. Proper management is challenging, including the optimal time for treatment. The authors report an infant with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus epidermidis-mediated NF complicated with ACS and its successful management with combined application of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) and split-thickness skin grafts (STSG).
