Abstract

Necrotising fasciitis is a rare but severe infection of soft-tissue associated with rapid progression, systemic toxicity and high mortality. Monomicrobial necrotising fasciitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is exceptionally uncommon with only 12 cases reported in the literature. We describe a fatal case with an atypical presentation in a patient following spinal decompression for a metastasis from prostate cancer.
