“…Classically, necrotising fasciitis spreads by direct invasion along fascial planes, leading to necrosis of the overlying tissue; however, a number of cases of multifocal necrotising fasciitis have now been reported, which tend to have much worse outcomes 2 3. Multifocal lesions may present synchronously as in our case, or after an interval of up to 3 days 4.…”

“…Type III is reported to be induced by Vibrio species after minor injuries in salt water [5]. Necrotizing fasciitis can occur after different skin lesions and even in intact skin by hematologous spreading or by blunt trauma [6]. The first case of Necrotizing fasciitis after CVC placement has been described by N. Leibig et all.…”

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) can appear after various penetrating or non-penetrating skin lesions. This is the second reported case in which NF occurred after a central venous line placement. A 60-year-old woman admitted to intensive care unit for the management of acute coronary syndrome complicated by cardiopulmonary arrest. Ten days after central venous placement in the left internal jugular vein, a reddening and swelling of the insertion site were observed. The evolution was characterized by aggravation of the local symptoms occurred, and the diagnosis of NF was made. The patient died before performing surgically debridement This report on NF in a critically ill patient due to a subclavian central intravenous line aims to encourage checking for iatrogenic soft tissue condition in sedated intensive care patients. These patients may have a greater risk of developing NF, because they often have predisposing factors such as diabetes, end-stage renal failure, and immune suppression.
