ABSTRACT

Necrotizing soft-tissue infections are destructive and lifethreatening. Necrotizing soft-tissue infections of the neck and chest wall are uncommon. The condition is seen more frequently in postoperative patients undergoing a variety of procedures. We describe a patient with necrotizing soft-tissue infections of the neck and chest wall in whom the etiology remains obscure.
