Necrotising fasciitis is a life-threatening infection of the soft
tissue which can be caused by different microorganisms,
but infection caused by Aeromonas spp. or Vibrio spp. is
frequently associated with higher mortality rate. Necrotising
fasciitis progresses rapidly and often need aggressive
surgical intervention. We present a rare case of necrotising
fasciitis cause by Aeromonas sobria which mortality was
successfully prevented by swift diagnosis and aggressive
surgery.
