Necrotizing fasciitis is a progressive, rapidly spreading, inflammatory infection located in deep fascia. It may cause necrosis of skin and subcutaneous tissue and can even results in involvement of adjacent soft tissues such as muscles resulting in necrotizing myositis. We report the case of an adult male presenting with necrotizing myofasciitis secondary to left pyelonephritis. We also review the relevant literature.
坏死性筋膜炎是一种进展性、迅速蔓延的深部筋膜炎症性感染。它可能导致皮肤和皮下组织坏死，甚至可累及相邻的软组织，如肌肉，导致坏死性肌炎。我们报告一例成年男性因左肾盂肾炎继发坏死性肌筋膜炎的病例。我们还回顾了相关文献。
