We discuss the successful saving of a male neonate with necrotizing fasciitis of the chest following a hot fomentation of the umbilicus with exposure of the ribs and the pleural space on the right side. He recovered 5 weeks after admission. We stressed the need to recognize necrotizing fasciitis extending from the upper anterior abdominal wall to the chest following hot fomentation of the umbilicus. The need for multidisciplinary cooperation for excellent outcome is very important, that is, neonatologist, medical microbiologist, and plastic and chest surgeons.
我们讨论了成功救治一名患有胸部坏死性筋膜炎的男性新生儿的病例，该患儿因脐部热敷后出现右侧肋骨及胸膜腔暴露。他入院5周后康复。我们强调了识别脐部热敷后从上腹前壁延伸至胸部的坏死性筋膜炎的必要性。多学科合作对于取得良好治疗效果非常重要，即新生儿科医生、医学微生物学家以及整形和胸外科医生的合作。
