Necrotizing fasciitis is a grave complication of ascending omphalitis in the neonate, but because it is rare some of the signs are not well documented. Rapidly progressive anterior abdominal wall edema and cellulitis were noted in 16 patients who were clinically diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis. Fifteen of these patients died soon after emergence of anterior abdominal wall edema and cellulitis. The appearance of anterior abdominal edema and cellulitis in a patient with ascending omphalitis has serious implications and demands intensive care if the patient is to survive.
坏死性筋膜炎是新生儿脐炎上行性感染的严重并发症，但由于其罕见，一些体征尚无充分记录。16例临床诊断为坏死性筋膜炎的患者出现了快速进展的前腹壁水肿和蜂窝织炎。其中15例患者在前腹壁水肿和蜂窝织炎出现后不久死亡。脐炎患者出现前腹壁水肿和蜂窝织炎具有严重意义，若患者想要存活则需要重症监护。
