Herein, we report a case of an 80-year-old male who was diagnosed with a fatal condition known as necrotizing fasciitis. This devastating soft tissue infection can cause profound damage to multiple tissue planes. Despite its etiology being multifactorial, impaired immunity with increasing age weighs in as the most significant. We intend to shed light on its detrimental clinical features and how we managed to treat the patient both conservatively and surgically. Through our case findings and management plan, we hope this case to be of clinical value and knowledge to clinicians to better diagnose and treat the deleterious condition.
在此，我们报告一例80岁男性患者，其被诊断患有一种名为坏死性筋膜炎的致命疾病。这种毁灭性的软组织感染可对多个组织层面造成严重损害。尽管其病因是多因素的，但随着年龄增长免疫力受损是最重要的因素。我们旨在阐明其有害的临床特征以及我们如何通过保守和手术方法治疗该患者。通过我们的病例发现和管理计划，我们希望这个病例能对临床医生具有临床价值和知识，以便更好地诊断和治疗这种有害疾病。
