Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Two premature infants with acute necrotizing fasciitis of the scalp are reported. In both cases the infection most likely arose from infiltrations of intravenous fluids into the subcutaneous region of the scalp. Aggressive surgical debridement, as well as antibiotic therapy, resulted in healing in both infants. A review of neonatal fasciitis is included. |
