Necrotizing fasciitis is an uncommon severe infection involving subcutaneous tissues and advancing along fascial planes. Group B streptococcal infections occur disproportionately in diabetics and pregnant women. Although fasciitis secondary to group B streptococcus has been described in infants and adult women in the postpartum period, we report the first case, to our knowledge, of group B streptococcal necrotizing fasciitis in an adult diabetic unrelated to obstetric complications.
坏死性筋膜炎是一种罕见的严重感染，累及皮下组织并沿筋膜平面蔓延。B族链球菌感染在糖尿病患者和孕妇中不成比例地发生。虽然B族链球菌继发的筋膜炎在婴儿和产后成年女性中已有报道，但据我们所知，我们报告了首例与产科并发症无关的成年糖尿病患者发生的B族链球菌坏死性筋膜炎。
