Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a severe infection, rare in pediatrics, often challenging to diagnose. An 18-month-old girl presented with fever and swelling after a minor cut. Over six days, her condition worsened, leading to the diagnosis of NF. Surgical debridement revealed extensive necrosis. After intensive care with sugar dressings and broad-spectrum antibiotics, her wound improved significantly. She was discharged after 21 days, emphasizing the importance of hygiene and timely medical care.
坏死性筋膜炎（NF）是一种严重感染，在儿科中较为罕见，诊断往往具有挑战性。一名18个月大的女孩在轻微割伤后出现发热和肿胀。在六天时间里，她的病情恶化，最终被诊断为坏死性筋膜炎。手术清创显示有广泛坏死。在使用糖敷料和广谱抗生素进行重症监护后，她的伤口明显好转。21天后她出院，这凸显了卫生和及时就医的重要性。
