Abstract
AbstractNecrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an uncommon soft tissue infection. Multifocal‐extremity NF is a rarity with high mortality rates. Herein we report a case of bilateral non‐contiguous NF of the lower extremities due to Escherichia coli with a fatal outcome, stressing the necessity of rapid and aggressive intervention in suspected cases.
